Maybe Cora picked some flowers, like daisies, from the wild or brought in simple green plants found outside to put in her kitchen…
Maybe Ernt carved Cora a sign out of wood for her kitchen? However, I imagine Cora taking pride in her kitchen, so brown paper serves as a tablecloth.
I did not envision Cora having nice matching dishes, glassware, and napkins – just whatever she collected over the years…Nor does she have a fabric tablecloth I took the liberty of putting together my tablescape based on the description in the book of the family’s meager belongings and their tiny cabin (think no indoor plumbing and remember it’s cold Alaska, not a location like Hawaii). A war buddy of Ernt’s has left him a cabin and some land in a fictional town near Homer, Alaska.Ĭora’ kitchen and the family table are not described in the book. This time it being a major move to “America’s Last Frontier”, Alaska. Once again, he decides to move his family (his wife Cora, and their 13-year daughter, Leni). My table’s all about details that pertained to or were mentioned in The Great Alone.Ī Vietnam vet (Ernt) looses yet another job. I also knew after initially reading it, I was dying to host my Book Club for our discussion/lunch – my brain was already swirling at that point with ideas for my tablescape. Others in my group were interested in reading it too, so it was an easy pick for us. This book club read and discussed The Great Alone prior to my regular Book Club selecting this book.Īfter reading The Great Alone, I thought it was a superb book for discussion for my regular Book Club. The other is a Book Club that has many gals in it and meets at nighttime to discuss our book over snacks and drinks.
The first being the Book Club I often write about here. I hosted my Book Club back in May for our lunch and discussion of Kristin Hannah’s latest book, The Great Alone.Ĭome take a look at my tablescape coordinated with details in the book.
