Book Description:
Meet Georgia, SuSu, Teeny, Diane, and Linda--five women who've been best friends through thirty years since high school. Sit in when they don their red hats and purple outfits to join Atlanta's Ladies Who Lunch for a delicious monthly serving of racy jokes, iced tea and chicken salad, baskets of sweet rolls, the latest Buckhead gossip, and most of all--lively support and caring through the ups and downs of their lives. When Diane discovers her banker husband has a condo (with mistress) that he bought with their retirement funds, the Red Hats swing into action and hang him with his own rope in a story that serves up laughter, friendship, revenge, high school memories, long-lost loves, a suburban dominatrix, and plenty of white wine and junk food. From the 1960s to the present, The Red Hat Club is a funny, unforgettable novel that shows the power women can find when they accept and support each other.

I enjoyed this book. The book is set in Atlanta Ga. This is the story of 5 women who have been friends since high school and have remained so for thirty-six years. They are always there for each other through all of life's heartaches and happy times. The girls rally together when one of their own is faced with a cheating husband, and is totally shocked with what one of the others has done over the years without telling them. I look forward to visiting Georgia, SuSu, Teeny, Diane and Linda again.

Superbly written, funny and thought provoking. I enjoyed this book dispite the minor problems with authenticity.

While not endorsed by the Red Hat Society, this book IS about five middle-aged women who had known each other for 30 years and continue to be friends lovingly and humorously involved in each others lives....and misadventures.
