Helpful Score: 1
What a great novel! Lovie is the storyteller, a woman who owns a small dress shop in Manhattan and holds dearly onto all the dark secrets of her clients. Two of them, Dinah and Avis, she went to boarding school with and they've stayed friends though-out the years. But now Dinah and Avis's children are in a relationship and hopefully all those secrets - stay secrets, or not only will their relationship be in trouble, but the three woman's friendships and those that it affects - much like a domino effect.
From their time in the boarding school, through marriages, divorces, child rearing and more, Gossip spans many years of the three friends but is all told in Lovie's voice. If you love reading about the trials and tribulations of friendship, along with the deep bond that women can create, as well as reading about gossip, then you'll love Beth Gutcheon's newest endeavor. The story builds and builds until a stellar climax that has me thinking days after I have closed the book. A great beach read this summer!
