The next WN book group meeting will be Sunday April 21st at 2 pm at Penny Eccleston’s house<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will be reading \u201cThe Girls of August\u201d by Anne Rivers Siddons<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For fifteen years, four “girls of August” would gather together to spend a week at the beach, until tragedy interrupts their ritual. Now they reunite for a startling week of discoveries.
The ritual began when they were in their twenties and their husbands were in medical school, and became a mainstay of every summer thereafter. Their only criteria was oceanfront and isolation, their only desire to strengthen their far-flung friendships. They called themselves the Girls of August. But when one of the Girls dies tragically, the group slowly drifts apart and their vacations together are brought to a halt.
Years later, a new marriage reunites them and they decide to come together once again on a remote barrier island off the South Carolina coast. There, far from civilization, the women uncover secrets that will change them in ways they never expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is available as a book from the BPL and as an audiobook from Overdrive\/Libby. Or it can be ordered from Amazon or other booksellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
