Feedback from book club participants who read the novel

I loved being on Zoom last night and “meeting” Karin, whose novel I enjoyed. What a treat it was to hear her speak and answer questions.  Clara, San Diego CA

 

Thank you Karin for sharing your process and insights! Betinna, San Diego CA

 

In Falling From the Moon, Karin Zirk gave my book club members and me a window into the world of peace and love gatherings. We became involved with the characters as they grew and healed in this mostly peaceful world. We had a wonderful Zoom meeting with Karin to discuss her book which added a layer of understanding and was a lot of fun. Tina, San Diego CA

 

Also thank you to Karin. It was a great book that I finished right after our discussion. As I said, Karin’s use of words helped me to really see, smell and feel the settings in the book. I felt like I was there… Michelle, San Diego CA

 

Karin, I liked your book and the way your characters unfolded so it was really interesting to hear about your writing process. 25 years! Holy cow! Thanks for sharing with us! Cindy, San Diego CA

Reading group discussion topics

  1. At the beginning of the story, we meet Lauren and Sapphire at a back woods drum circle around a bonfire in a moment of bliss. How does this scene set the tone for the events that follow?
  2. The novel centers on Lauren and Sapphire coming to terms with the way things were supposed to be versus the way their lives are unfolding. How do their journeys bring understanding to your own life’s disappointments?
  3. Children, both grown and future, figure prominently in this book. How does the theme of childhood needs figure prominently in the story?
  4. In the #MeToo era, how does the healing ceremony at the end of the book invoke your emotional response?
  5. The author does not tie up the plot line with definitive answers. Does this leave you unfulfilled or does it leave the characters’ futures open to your imagination?
  6. What impact does the weaving of historical events with fictional characters and experiences have on the authenticity of the story?
