The Red Hat Club

I finished The Red Hat Club last night, and I really enjoyed it. The book is about 5 women who have been friends since girlhood. The book's main story line is the present in which the women are there for each other in the midst of divorces, affairs, money problems, and other ups and downs of adult life. However, I also enjoyed the chapters that "flashback" into the early lives of the ladies, showing how they became friends and how they overcame adversities even back in "the day." They all became friends by being in the exclusive "Mademoiselle" club, and then remained friends throughout their adult lives. The climax of the book is an elegant reunion of Mademoiselles which holds quite a few surprises for the ladies.

I liked the book and recommend it for a light, easy read.
