The April Coterie meeting was at the home of Emily Peterson.

Barbara Dewey was the co-hostess.

After the business meeting, Cheryl Cotter introduced Debbie Robertson, who reviewed "China in Ten Words," by Yu Hua. The book has been banned in China, even though the author is not a dissident and lives and works there.

"China in Ten Words" is a collection of 10 essays, each based on a word or phrase the author uses to construct a fascinating and disturbing picture of present-day China. Each phrase is allotted a chapter and Yu uses his reminiscences of a childhood and adolescence spent during the Cultural Revolution to illustrate these words. Each of the terms Yu singles out, reading, writing, disparity, copy cat, bamboozle etc., serve as opportunities for him to tell stories about his and the country's past, from disturbing to humorous.

The next meeting will be at Sharon Watkins' home. Pam Hoesman will review the book "Country Driving," by Peter Hessler.
