Book Club!
Posted by Ruby in Uncategorized on 25-05-2010
The Adult Book Club has chosen “Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons”. Five friends live through three decades of marriages, child raising, neighborhood parties, bad husbands and good brownies-and Landvik doesn’t miss a single cliche as she chronicles their lives in this pleasant but wholly familiar novel of female bonding. When Faith Owens’s husband is transferred from Texas to the “stupid godforsaken frozen tundra” of Freesia Court, Minn., in 1968, her life looks like it’s going to be one dull, snowy slog-until the power goes out one evening and a group of what appear to be madwomen start a snowball fight in her backyard. These dervishes turn out to be her neighbors: antiwar activist Slip; sexpot Audrey; painfully shy Merit; and widow Kari. They become fast friends and decide to escape their humdrum routine by starting the Freesia Court Book Club.
The Book Club will meet on June 28th @ 4 p.m. Call the Library for a copy.
