The Nightingales of Troy

Welcome to The Nightingales of Troy...


BLOG ONE WEDNESDAY JUNE 1ST-ARYANA
First Week Team Leader Blogger Question for Discussion is,“Time is one of the book’s large themes. ‘And though my children were sleeping the sleep of the just, I half believed my unvoiced thoughts would reach them across that room full of twentieth-century light,’ Mamie thinks at the end of the first story. What do her thoughts suggest about time?”
(remember we have a week to respond, but be courteous to your team leader's prompt address of the question)

BLOG 2 WEDNESDAY JUNE 8TH-TANYA
Week 2 Team Leader Blogger Question for Discussion is,“Alice Fulton has called the past ‘the ultimate foreign country.’ The Nightingales of Troy covers a century with remarkable attention to detail. It’s full of fascinating period objects and artifacts, from cosmetics to medical equipment. How do these cultural objects and markers deepen your sense of the past?”

Meeting Wednesday, June 16th from 4-6ish in room CC3345. We will do the book vote around 5:30 pm. Those of you who cannot make it to the book vote can vote via email. I will send you packets of the selections and then you can email me back with your picks. Let me know if you are interested!

Great First Meeting of the Spring Quarter!!

Thank you to everyone for showing up for the first "end book" meeting of the quarter. I can't wait to get started on Season of Migration to the North. It should definitely be a different feel than Woman and send us on a interesting journey through Sudan in the 60's. This will be our last stop in Northern Africa before we head to upstate New York, big difference. Alyssa is working hard on getting some fun facts together for us in regards to each defining decade for Nightingales as well as some religious information that pertains to the novel as well. Happy Reading and see you in the comments!
