The Bridge Ladies by Betsy Lerner

4.0

I really liked this book. I enjoyed hearing learning a little about bridge. I liked reading about the early lives of the bridge ladies - all married in the 50s at fairly young ages. They were all intelligent and competent, but relegated to marriage and children, and how they coped with that life rather than perhaps the lives they might have lived in a later time period. I could relate to some of the things the author did growing up in the 70s. And, I liked the author's sometimes acerbic comments.

There were definitely mixed reactions in my book club, but often my gauge of how much I like a book is how often I pick it up just to read a few pages throughout the day. And I kept doing that with this one. Five minutes here or there. Not just waiting until the end of the day for my pre-sleep reading.
