Five remarkable women find meaning and friendship through the power of their book club.
On the surface, it is a monthly book club. But for five women, it is so much more.
For Eve Porter, whose husband's sudden death cheats her of every security she had planned on, the club is a place of sanctuary. For Annie Blake, a brilliant attorney intent on starting a family late in life, it is the chance to finally let down her guard and dream of other possibilities. For Doris Bridges, it is her support group as she acknowledges her dying marriage and finds the ultimate freedom in her husband's betrayal. For Gabriella Rivera, the "perfect" wife, mother and friend who offers support to everyone but is afraid to ask for it herself, it is a sense of community. And for Midge Kirsch, an artist who has always lived her life against the grain, it is a haven of acceptance.
They are five women from different walks of life, embracing the challenge of change. And as they share their hopes and fears and triumphs, they will hold fast to the true magic of the book club--friendship.
What a "deep" and meaningful book!
Touches on so many different topics that are relevant to many people ...
And even though I was in the mood for a novel rather than a book about friendship, I was left completely disappointed! Somehow I am now even more at heart with a book about friends, friendships rather than love stories.
Although I can’t say there’s no love story here. They are, minimally, but there is, here maybe more about love for yourself can be found, but after all it is probably and must be the most important love, to love yourself. 😊
And how much more fun it is to read about the Book Club, and to see the books I have already read! Arouses the desire to own or belong to such a club ... 🙈
