Angry Housewives Eating Bon-Bons
I have just finished this book. I loved it. It is a story of five
women who form a book club and meet once a month for
30 years. With very different personalities and backgrounds, they become acquainted because of a power outage during a snowstorm on the cul-de-sac where they live. We watch their children grow up, observe happy and unhappy marriages, and learn their secrets. The books they read are the things that keep them together in the beginning, but as the story progresses, their own lives and the turns they take become better than fiction. Lorna Landvik is the author. I read another of hers – “Oh My Stars” and liked it. This one is even better. I’m going to suggest it to our local book club.
