This book has been recommended to me by a large and disparate group of friends, family, acquaintances. And it's the pick for next month's book group discussion - which will be at my house.
It's not great literature - but it is a good read. It belongs to that ever-growing body of "Southern women regional writers" that I am wont to bring up from time to time.I have often said that if I ever went back to finish my master's degree, my thesis would be about this particular category of female authors. I often wonder why there isn't a category for "Southern California women regional writers!"
I wonder how many men would enjoy it. Is it truly just for women talking to other women? Somehow these women know how to capture our interest. The stories are somewhat removed from my own personal experience, but I can still relate. This one does deal with the 60's and all that entailed, but actually in a somewhat superficial way. But the superficiality isn't a stumbling block.
It's certainly a popular book. And as I said before, a good read.
And sometimes that's all I want from a book!
