I have to go to a book club and discuss a book I haven't read
_Astrid and Veronica_. I don't HAVE to discuss it, but I was supposed to read it, and didn't. Too busy, and they keep choosing books that don't hold my interest. I'll probably just sit and listen. I've read a synopsis online, so I'm not completely in the dark (it's about two women, named "Astrid" and "Veronica"). Anyone have any interesting insights that I could share for the edification of those who have read it (or fake it better than me)?

4. I'm UCC
So it's "Humankind's inhumanity to humankind" or better yet, "Humanity's inhumanity to humanity".

But thanks for the help.

3. Actually, that seems to be the gist of it
as I read the synopsis.

Thanks for reinforcing my impression! And you know lit, so I'm on firm ground!

Have a good evening :hi:
