sadya Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I'm going to finish the last chapters of this book today. It's my first book by Elizabeth Noble. I went to the library for 'The reading group' which I didn't find, so I ended up with this one which is a nice read. It's easy and a quick read. The characters are interesting enough to absorp me into the story. It does remind me a bit of old tv shows like 'Dynasty', you know, a bit soapy feel. Not meant to degrade the book though. But there is a mother who had left her daughter when she was just 4 who has now been discovered by the daughter after she is an adult now and a mother herself, there is an unfaithfull husband, there is the widower who is in love with a dear friend and they fear to ruin their life long friendship if they get involved romantically with each other, there is the lonely career-woman who is confused as well and trying to figure out what she wants in life and who she really is and why her life turned out that way, there is the memory of the dead dear friend whom this group of friends cherish (whose husband, the widower is in love with one the friends of their group), there is the child anxious about his parents possible divorce, etc. It's written nicely and the characters are real enough. It's almost as if you know them as real people. You get involved in their emotions and care about what happens to them. I like this book, but it's not a favorite or something I would buy. Definitely worth reading though. Quote
