LUVVED this book and the women in it. The title refers to a monthly bookclub formed by the women of Freesia Court, so designated by a scornful husband but embraced by the women. The book begins in the present but flashes back through the decades that the women have known each other. Each grows, deals with spouses, affairs, children...all the stuff the rest of us deal with. Although the cover reminds me of my mother-in-law and her friends, the Angry Housewives are of my Boomer generation. I called a friend the other day and said, "You have to read this book. You ARE Audrey!"
