I'd especially wanted to introduce Gerlinde and Marga, both originally from Germany--so here we are after two hours of stimulating conversation and good food.
Earlier this year, I'd introduced Bonnie and Gerlinde because Gerlinde had hoped to find resources through Bonnie for self-publishing. Bonnie gave her the name of Margaret Pomeroy (who edits and knows the ins and outs of self-publishing)--and the two of them have worked together for about three months. Now--drumroll!--Gerlinde's book is almost ready to go, all but one final edit.
Next week, Gerlinde and Tim are leaving for a month of travel: England and Scotland for two weeks, then Germany for two more.
Bonnie, retired professor of English at UTSA, is widely published--and her most recent book was Wonderful Old Women--in which Marga, a Jungian therapist, was one of the featured wonderful women!
As always happens when interesting women get-together, I came home and made notes of places and books and movies mentioned. Bonnie recommended a series of four books by by Elena Ferrante (called the Neapolitan novels)--and I've already downloaded the first book, My Brilliant Friend.
So here I go--from Italian lunch to Naples for afternoon summer reading!
