I really enjoyed this book and the story of the friends. ( ) A book set in the United States, featuring four women in their late sixties who have a close friendship; they bicker, and complain about each other, but meet regularly and support each other in all their difficulties. I found the informal style a bit difficult to get into at first, but as the book progressed I found myself interested in several of the characters. There are some important issues covered, making the book quite thought-provoking, and there's an encouraging ending, if a tad too neat and tidy for realism. I read this for our local book group, and we all liked it, some better than others. Not one I'm likely to read again, but I'm glad I read it - the book group is a great way of expanding horizons a little.
