I have a well-worn and well-loved copy of this book that I won't part with...I read it over and over again. I've read it at least once every two years for over a decade. I've loaned it out as well - everyone who has read my copy has loved it. A wonderful story full of intertwining characters and plots. I highly recommend it!

The story of the founding members of the Waynesboro Women's club from 1868 to 1932. Interesting historical perspective.

This is one of my all time favorite books.

This book provided the inspiration for a group to start our very own book club. A lovely story covering generations of readers. I loved it!

From a historical perspective it reviews the lives of a group of women from just after the civil war until they all die. What struck me was how much families are different from 1932 until the present, and how little they changed in the time leading up to that. Seldom do we currently see people growing up, marrying, moving in with their in-laws, and staying in the same community, but that is how it was in small town Ohio. The characters are so alive, I could barely put the book down. It is hard to describe how wonderful this book was to read except to say, at the end I wanted more.

Miss Santmyer was in her 90's when she wrote this classic tale of friends and their families. A very enjoyable, lengthy read.

This book is a fabulous sweeping saga. A bit of a slow start, but give it a chance. One of my top 10 favorite books for sure.
