Monday Moments - Summer Reading by Hilma Wolitzer

Well, it's October and fall, but  I got this  book for  one dollar  at the library book sale. Totally worth the price.  Can reading change  your life?  Hilma  Wolitzer explores this theme in  Summer Reading. 

Join ladies in the Hamptons at the Page Turners book club. Angela Graves, a retired English professor, helps reading groups in their discussions. Lissy Snyder is a wealthy newlywed hosting the afternoon soirees.  Her secret - dyslexia. Maybe not the brightest bunny, but truly tries.  A local gal, Michelle, is Lissy's housecleaner.  She eavesdrops, picks up books that ladies  leave  behind, and keeps  track of  the gossip. 

These three women all have personal issues. As Angela encourages discussions  of heroines by Trollope and  Flaubert, the act of reading will influence tough  choices the women  must make. I was entertained  and amused, and I admit one can look for answers or inspiration in books. 

Keep reading and questioning.
