The Golden Oldies' Book Club by Judy Leigh
3.0
This was a really sweet tale of friendship and hope. It centered around a group of older ladies, some in their 70s some younger, who formed a book club. They all had struggles they were dealing with and working out where they were going next.
I felt sorry for Jeannie throughout, she seemed to have lost herself and become everyone's crutch but had nothing that was just for her. Ruth was a great character, she started so stern and nervous but really blossomed throughout the story. I felt Auroras character needed a bit more, I was not overly fond of her storyline, it all felt a little trite. But I loved the description of her style and charisma even if her self assuredness was a front.
I loved how new characters to the area entwined into the lives of the ladies and friendships grew.
I also enjoyed the setting of the Cider Farm, it was really informative and I learnt quite a bit about cider production!
All in all this was a fun, charming read.
