Suzanne M. (1PilatesMom) reviewed Good book for your next Book Club meeting on 2/23/2009

I'm not a fan of non-fiction, but this book was choosen by my Book Club and I have to say I really enjoyed it. Sometimes a little frustrating as the author goes back and forth in time, a lot, which got to be a bit confusing when trying to match up all the players. However the Everleigh sisters were fascinating, smart and shrewd business women running a highly profitable "club". The sisters took better care of their "butterflies" than the most men took of their wives. The descriptions of Chicago were very detailed so you could easily imagine what life was like back in the early 1900's. By the end you'll know where the custom of drinking out of a ladies shoe comes from, plus a few other fun facts! A good read with a bit of history thrown in.
