My thoughts about The Weekend by Charlotte Wood
The book synopsis for The Weekend by Charlotte Wood
These women couldn't be more different: Jude, a once-famous restaurateur with a spotless life and a long-standing affair with a married man; Wendy, an acclaimed feminist intellectual; Adele, a former star of the stage, now practically homeless.
Struggling to recall exactly why they've remained close all these years, the grieving women gather for one last weekend at Sylvie's old beach house - not for a celebration of her life, but to clean the place out before it is sold.
But fraying tempers, an elderly dog, unwelcome guests and too much wine collide in a storm that brings long-buried hurts to the surface - a storm that will either remind them of the bond they share, or sweep away their friendship for good.

It was good that it surprised you and that you got into it eventually. Great review.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It made a nice change from my usual reads.
DeleteSounds like a good one. Surprises can be good.
