The Four Ms. Bradwells

Jaymie Lemke

This book explores many different themes, friendship, tragedy, parenting, women's rights, sex, deception... Yet among all of these things what stands out to me is the beautiful imagery that Meg Waite Clayton uses throughout the book.

While not a light beach read, if read in a book club would make for some great discussions.

Overall a good solid book that I liked.

BONUS: This edition contains a The Four Ms. Bradwells discussion guide and excerpts from Meg Waite Clayton's The Wednesday Sisters, The Language of Light, and The Wednesday Daughters. Mia, Laney, Betts, and Ginger have reunited to celebrate Betts’s appointment to the Supreme Court. But when Senate hearings uncover a deeply buried skeleton in the friends’ collective closet, they retreat to a summer house on the Chesapeake Bay, where they find themselves reliving a much darker period in their past—one that stirs up secrets they’ve kept for, and from, one another, and could change their lives forever.

I dragged myself through this book. The characters weren't particularly sympathetic and the book telegraphed the ending. I just kept reading to make sure that I had guessed correctly about the ending.
