"I'm pretty sure there's a theme, I just don't know what it is"


The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino
Hosted by: Gina
In Attendence: Tyree, Siri, Heather, Jeanine, Sal, Jessica

Welcome back, Sal! We've missed you!
Place your vote for Sal's book below!

Thanks for another fantastic meeting, Ladies.

Themes we discussed:
Enlightenment via self-exile
Living his life in the trees, actually forced the Baron to create bonds with a variety of townspeople that he wouldn't have had interactions with had he lived in the house of the Baron. Perhaps this made him a better Baron.
Strong female characters
Viola's a bitch, but Sal likes her anyways
Pirates, sex in the trees, a well read thief, what more do ya need!
