The Confession Club
by Elizabeth Berg
The Confession Club was my first read by Elizabeth Berg and based on this novel, I will want to go and explore her backlist titles. This is her third set in the town of Mason, Missouri, and I regret not reading the first two before picking this one up. It's never too late to go back though - one of the beauties of the reading life.
A group of local friends, age 20-80, form a supper club. They share their secrets, loves, worries, and sins over wine and shared meals every month. The members support each other as they face challenges and life decisions. We get to know each individual and together they form one of those appealing casts of quirky, human characters, so that the novel is full of many voices and perspectives and journeys.
If you're after a story that zooms in on small town life, that is thoughtful, quietly funny, and all about friendship, relationships and the hard choices that everyone faces in life, this is one to try. It's satisfying, uplifting and easy reading.
3.5 stars
