A Month of Literary Gratitude, Day 22 - Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, by Lorna Landvik

Tuesday, November 22, 2016

Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, by Lorna Landvik is one of those books where I was so invested in the characters that I spent my reading time alternating being crying, laughing out loud, shaking my fist at the resident doucheweasel, and smiling like a loon.






This book spans forty years, and describes the deep friendships between five women who are neighbors and members of an unofficial book club. It describes their triumphs, their tragedies, their secrets, and how they support each other in crafting their lives to suit them.

Lorna Landvik has a way of writing her characters that makes it very easy to care about them, and identify with their struggles. I wanted every single one to have a happy ending, but life's not like that, unfortunately.
