Agawam Pageturners Book Club's Discussion of Time Is a River by Mary Alice Monroe

The group had an interesting discussion about Time Is a River. Most of the group loved the book. One woman said she especially loved the writing in the book; she felt she was right on the water. The story is about Mia, a breast cancer survivor, who stays in a cabin in North Carolina for the summer after her husband's infidelity. The cabin belongs to Belle Carson, Mia's fly fishing instructor and the granddaughter of Kate Watkins, a great fly fisherwoman accused of killing her lover. Mia uses her time to paint, fly fish, and solve the mystery about Kate Watkins. The cabin Mia is staying at originally was that of Kate Watkins. The only part of the book that people disagreed about was Mia's involvement with Stuart. Some that it was contrived. Others thought it was necessary for Mia to learn how to love again after her betrayal by her husband. Overall, a very enjoyable read.
