A review by storiedconversation
The Golden Oldies' Book Club by Judy Leigh
5.0
We begin with Jeannie who is seventy-two and living with her ninety-five-year-old mother Violet. She also has her teenage grandchildren staying with her as they are finishing up school. She has a lot going on but one bright spot is her book club at the local library.
In the club we have Ruth, the librarian, who is lonely and yearns for more. Then there is Verity who is having some trouble in her marriage while Danielle’s marriage is ending after her husband’s affair. Not to mention poor Aurora whose heart was broken long ago and she has yet to recover.
The ladies decide to take a book club trip to France and get a breather from their troubles. They support one another and when they get back they begin to tackle their problems one at a time. We get to follow along on their journey of discovering that you are never too old to make new friends, find love or simply learn to live.
This was such a wonderful read and I will say that I enjoyed it so much. It deals with everyday life and the things that we all have to face as we get older. What it gives us though is a lasting friendship and the will to step out there and face your dragons head on. It was light hearted and great fun!
