Right now we are reading Unexplained Laughter by Alice Thomas Ellis. Book club night for this tome is later in May; this will be our Easter get-together and just two days shy of the end of Easter Season which is on Pentecost Sunday.
Alice Thomas Ellis is the pen name for Anna Haycraft. Anna (Alice) was raised a secular humanist and converted to Catholicism during her college years. In an interview before her death in 1977 she claimed some very strong reasons for believing in God and the Catholic faith, including her claim that she was very comfortable with the “aims and rituals of the Church,” and “secure in the certainty that it was immune from frivolous change and the pressures of fashion.”
