Four women – Ros, Simone, Judy and Adele – are women of a certain age who are members of an online book club. When Adele is offered a house-sit in the Blue Mountains, she invites the others to join her for a month. The idea is to get to know each other better, and to take turns offering a beloved book for a weekly literary discussion. Adele, professionally adept but not always competent in her personal life, suggests the idea with hesitation but to her surprise the others agree. Each of the women is dealing with life issues, and their personal journeys intersect in fruitful ways with the books they discuss. Knitting, bush walks, shared meals, wine, and the odd drama or two make the month a wonderful time. This is a fun read for anyone interested in books, friendship and growing older graciously.
