Bois le Roi mural

Friday
Book club this afternoon in Bois le Roi, starting with lunch at La Bacotte, a pizza/pasta restaurant that Roger and I have eaten at a few times. There were six of us for lunch, and two joined us later. We were treated today to a glass of champagne and a generous piece of delicious raspberry tart, in honour of a recent significant birthday of one of our members! The book we were discussing was "A tale for the time being, by Ruth Ozechi, an American/Japanese author. This was her third novel, and was shortlisted for The Man Booker Prize 2013.
"In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there’s only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates’ bullying, but before she ends it all, Nao plans to document the life of her great-grandmother, a Buddhist nun who’s lived more than a century. A diary is Nao’s only solace—and will touch lives in a ways she can scarcely imagine.
Across the Pacific, Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox—possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its contents unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao’s drama and her unknown fate, and forward into her own future." (Goodreads)
My blip was taken as I was returning to my car afterwards, and is another of the Bois Le Roi murals. I have blipped a couple previously. This one represents Le lavoir, or wash house.
