The Confession Club
by Elizabeth Berg
The Confession Club is the third book in the Mason series. Elizabeth Berg writes very likeable characters and this is no exception. Characters from The Story of Arthur Truluv and Night of Miracles make appearances in this book. Maddy, the young pregnant girl from The Story of Arthur Truluv is back with her daughter Nola. Iris, who took over Lucille's cooking classes in Night of Miracles, is a main character in this story.
The beauty of Berg's stories is that they build off each other. You don't necessarily have to read the earlier books to enjoy this one, but it's worth it to know the background of these characters. The Confession Club doesn't have the supernatural elements that Night of Miracles did, but it also doesn't have the tight storylines of the previous books.
The Confession Club itself was a club within the story. A group of women met to share confessions and things they were ashamed of. The underlying theme of this story was that family isn't something you are necessarily born into, but something you've created. Family accepts you as you are and they are there to appreciate you - flaws and all.
The Confession Club is a nice, feel-good book. It's light and it's good, but it can't compare to The Story of Arthur Truluv.
