Cloudstreet by Tim Winton

I must break down and tell everyone the truth! This was the first book club book I was not able to finish! We have had an incredibly busy summer and this book was just not grabbing me on my few spare moments. I read about half and watched the mini series to finish off the book. I was able to stay up late and watch the series since reading just put me to sleep! This book took place in Australia. We decorated, dined and played just like the Australians. The host has roots in Australia s

o she was able to decorate with coins, table cloths, banners and boomerangs straight from that Country. It was fun to see everything and have her share some history with us. We went with an all white clothing theme to resemble cricket players. We had shish kabobs on the barbie, played croquet and enjoyed visiting outdoors late into the evening. We had homemade wine to take home, homemade garbage disposal fresheners, jars with Australian animals on the lid and Australian Fish.
