This book could have been great except it wasn't. Meet 5 women whose lives are told in short, jumpy bits, who are kind of, but not altogether that connected. The book jumps years at a time in places and falls short of developing any one of the women in the story. This was a book club selection that my group, as a whole, was very disappointed in. If it hadn't been for my commitment to the club, I would have stopped reading it after 100 pages. Read The Help by Kathryn Stockett if you really want to be blown away by the lives of some amazing women!
