Sunday Salon, or should I say Monday, finds me finishing up Anne Rivers Siddons, The Girls of August. I didn't get to the beach this summer, at all... so I thought I'd read about others who did.
I don't usually read this type of book, however, I needed some enjoyable reading, with not so much catastrophe, although this did "spark" in more than one spot.
What's next, I'm going to give Gone Girl another go, I abandoned it earlier this year.
Product Description
Every August, four women would gather together to spend a week at the beach, renting a new house each year. 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 make startling discoveries that will change them in ways they never expected.I don't usually read this type of book, however, I needed some enjoyable reading, with not so much catastrophe, although this did "spark" in more than one spot.

I've read a couple of her books and always enjoy them. I avoid the beach in the summer when it's crowded but have plans to go in a few weeks.
Good luck with Gone Girl. It was not my favorite. I've got a couple of "beach" reads left on my stack.
This sounds interesting Irene, thanks for the review.
I'll have to look out for it.
I also avoid the beach when the school holidays are on, so next week, hooray, I might get back for my fish and chips for lunch on my day off!
Sounds like a great read indeed, thanks for sharing and greetings!
This sounds like a really fun book! Thank you, Irene, for your sweet comments every Friday. I always always look forward to hearing from you. ((HUGS)) Have a lovely weekend, my Friend!
