A wonderful book filled completely of the relationships between women - the ups and downs. I absolutely fell in love with the group of women and was sort of jealous of their relationships. The men in their lives made an appearance, but the women held the centerpiece

Most of the time these books are told from each of their perspectives, but I was absolutely thrilled that it stayed from the perspective of the one character. I think that a sequel could be made and Clayton could take the group through their next phase from another person's voice.

Although, I don't tend to enjoy some of the more historical parts of books, I loved how it worked into their lives. They attended rallies and were affected by the history of the times.

I really enjoyed this book, it was so easy to get into and I was sad to say goodbye to these women. The women folk would definitely enjoy this book for the relationships and the events that affect their lives.

One of the best books I've read in quite some time. It made me laugh and cry, empathize, sympathize, and feel great as well. The author draws you in to make you feel as though you know all of the characters and feel what they feel. An amazing book about friendship and its importance in life.

5 women, Frankie, Linda, Kath, Ally and Brett meet in the neighborhood park in Palo Alto during the 1960's. They are young mothers. And they share a love of books and writing. This is their study group for encouragement to write and then critique each other. They have their issues, cheating husbands, scars, not able to keep a baby to term, cancer, etc. The story follows them in their younger years on how they deal with this and still have sucess with their writing.

I was never a big reader until I got into my mid-20's. It usually takes me a long time to read a book, even one that is enjoyable. I picked up The Wednesday Sisters late last week and am now finished with it, I couldn't put it down (and that's with having 2 boys under the age of 2). It was a definite page turner and you wanted to know what happened next to the sisters and their writing.
