I'm astonished at some of the negative reviews of this beautiful book. I could not put it down, and I found the characterizations much more in-depth and intricate than some reviewers have stated.
It's summertime in the Hamptons. Four rich, young, newly married women decide to engage a retired English professor to run a summer book club for them,and thus improve themsevles with Madame Bovary, Villette and other novels.
I agree with the reviewer who wondered how this novel ever got published. Like a bad "Wifey" by Judy Bloom.
