I just added “Discussion Questions” to A Promise of Water. I’m glad I did. It helped me see that I covered some thoughtful points in the novel. For instance, do you think people in the west are more aware of the importance of potable water than you are?
Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not prudish or preachy, but a good novel will stick with you a while, maybe make you think about something you hadn’t thought about before.
We don’t worry about good water where I now live. I’m sitting here surrounded by soaked ground (after a big rain) and good drinking water anytime I want it. However, some parts of the west are still in drought or very close to it. It’s one of those ‘count your blessings’ things. I’m fresh from an arid area so good water is a big blessing.
Didn’t mean to get too serious. I still believe in happy endings. I’m hoping some book clubs will appreciate the questions. We’ll see.
