The Quickening
by Michelle Hoover
Should be a book club book...it desperately needs to be discussed! This book tells a story from two ladies' points of view in the middle of the Great Depression. They are polar opposites except for their drive to survive and to be happy with their torn families. That's what brings them together in the beginning, but by the end a series of terrible events and hidden secrets tears apart their tentative friendship, and eventually even their families. It's kind of a depressing read if it weren't for the intense opportunities for discussion-the actions of both people and the way their backgrounds and past experiences influence the choices they make are worth pondering.
