8成新,护封边角有磨损The Reading Group (Hardcover)~Elizabeth NoblePublisher:Hodder & Stoughton Ltd (November 10, 2003) Product Dimensions:9.2 x 5.9 x 1.7 inches Shipping Weight:1.6 pounds From BooklistWomen\'s reading groups form, dissolve, reform. Some have the lives of mayflies, while others boast many years\' existence. Nicole and Harriet, with lives and husbands that are very different (Nicole\'s is a womanizer), are cofounders of their group, which includes single-mom Polly, Polly\'s pal Susan, and Clare, a midwife. These Englishwomen come together for literary discussions but, as bonds form over the years, stay for friendship. Once-bitten Polly is still ambivalent about Jack\'s marriage proposal, despite Susan\'s reminder that, at 15 years, it has endured three times longer than Polly\'s erstwhile marriage. Though married to rock-solid Roger, Susan has her hands full because her mom seems to be suffering memory lapses. And certainly Harriet loves her husband, Tim, but now the love of her life, Charles, is marrying another. Meanwhile, infertile Clare bathes and rocks newborns, only to have their rightful mothers claim them. Noble keeps engagement high as her characters connect and interconnect. Since the Briticisms are usually decipherable in context, this entertaining read is very accessible for Americans.Whitney ScottCopyright ? American Library Association.
