Never by Ken Follett

In October Marsha hosted us at her home to discuss this gritty new thriller

by Ken Follett. We had two kinds of pasta salad as well as a green salad

and of course dessert.

“Never” is an action packed, globe spanning drama set in the present day.

America has the first female president as well as first gentleman.

There is a brilliant Chinese spymaster, the leaders of both Koreas and many undercover

agents  all struggling to prevent the outbreak of world war 111 when nuclear

weapons are used. Diplomacy has to be exercised to prevent this.

Every nation has its spies and undercover people gaining

each other’s intelligence.

As the crisis escalates we are taken into the world of international tension which is

all too real. There is some romance thrown in which could make the movie more

interesting when it comes out. It was 800 plus pages but it kept us captivated.

We have not read many spy thrillers but all agreed it was a nice change.

We asked Marsha to show us some of her jewelry artworks and

had  a little shopping spree before we went home.

Laura chose a book called “The Island of Sea Women” by Lisa See

for  our next read and November 30th set for the meeting
