“As much as I love reading, I will admit to a lack of suitable 'classics' under my belt and am attempting to correct the situation. This book was already on my list as one that I wanted to read and since I am one that would rather read the book before seeing the movie, the release of the movie caused me to push this one to the top of the list.

I found it very hard to connect to the characters in this story. While I do feel well-acquainted with the time-period, I am however not accustomed to the spoiled, rich people who show up throughout the pages. I am an honest person, speaking what is on my mind. I abhor liars and cheaters. I failed to see the significance of why this is considered a classic. Oh, I get the Shakespearean tragedy enveloped between the pages, the American Dream that oozes out of the pours of the inebriated characters. The greed, the lust. Maybe it's all those things put together that makes this the classic and I am looking for something that has more meaning, something that might revel the secrets of the universe. Maybe I should look at the book as a 'What NOT to Do With My Life' and I might get more out of it.

It just wasn't for me. ”

“A truly heart-warming tale of friendship and relationships. Four friends - Emma, Ruby, Lee and Isabel have been friends for ten years and have created a group that they call 'The Saving Graces'. Each woman has a different personality, adding interest to the group yet it seems that the one trait each person is lacking is found in abundance among the other members and they play off this system of helping each other through the rough spots in their lives. When a tragedy brings all four women together to support each another, the true depth of their friendship and individual strengths is tested.


I enjoyed this a lot better than I expected. While I don't have an abundance of friends, I found the bound between the woman and their individual stories believable. I would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting a good bonding story.”
