Title: The Wednesday Sisters
Author: Meg Waite Clayton
Pages: 304

Awards: the Happy Chicken Award, by B&b ex libris
Five unlikely women meet at the park, they are all so different, and yet they are all in the same place. They need friends, they need to lean to define themselves for more than just their roles as mother, daughter, wife. The sisters, who are not actually sisters at all, and don't meet on Wednesday anymore, learn though difficulties that their friendship will stand the test of time, hardship and misunderstandings. It takes place in the 60's when women are learning to ask questions, to speak up and to take charge.
I have seen The Wednesday Sisters raved about on blogs over months and months. I can now say that I think every woman should read The Wednesday Sisters. It is not just, "oh, that was a good book, I liked it" it is " I will remember that book for the rest of my life as a powerful portrayal of relationships, love, difficulty and beating the odds". I am so glad I gave it a shot. I cried, laughed, cried, laughed and did it over and over.
Reading the Wednesday Sisters is really more like hanging out with a group of real women, ladies who care about each other, and work through their differences. This book is just a cut above, it is actually the reason I came up with my Happy Chicken award in the first place!! If you have seen this one around, and have been holding out, know that you really are doing yourself a huge disservice.

I bought this book this summer and it's still in my TBR pile. I've had some contact with Meg through Good Reads and she is so nice. I'm glad the book is good.
I read The Wednesday Sisters several months ago, and I agree with your review - here's mine, by the way.
I've been wanting to read this one for awhile. Glad you enjoyed it!

I did not know this one but will put it on my list, sounds like a great read! And now that you have given it your reward it's even more tempting ;-)
