4.0
Paired with first two episodes of the PBS series for book group, which gave good context. Of the group here, I read Up in Michigan, The Undefeated (which I’m pretty sure I read in high school), In Another Country, Hills Like White Elephants, A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Excellent in different ways!
