I received a copy of Secrets of the Old Ladies Club by Nan
Tubre from a GoodReads Giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
Secrets of the Old Ladies Club follows 5 young at heart
friends who live in the Heritage Memories Retirement Village. Regina and Donna, are
the mothers of the two men who created the village and their friendship goes
back to the time of the Viet Nam War. Next is bold Stella and loyal Bethany,
who grew up together in New York. Lastly there is sweet Cicely, the youngest of
the group. All financially secure, the women decide they would like to do
something to help people, so they create a secret company called the OLC (Old
Ladies Club), where they build financially affordable housing for those in
need. However this isn’t the only secret they keep from others and each other. When
Donna’s ex-husband moves into the village, their peaceful existence is turned
upside down.
Although the synopsis interested me from the moment I
entered this giveaway, I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to relate
to the characters in this book. My reason for this is because I am quite a bit
younger than the 5 women are. However once I began reading the book, I knew
that I wouldn’t have any problem at all. I was so entertained from the first
page until the last. In fact I couldn’t put it down. Labelled as humor, there
is much more to this novel than that. I would think it would better fall under
the category of contemporary. The pace of the writing was good and the plot
never lagged, making it a quick read. This is definitely one that I will read
again.
I would recommend this book to anyone who believes in
friendship, whether they are young or young at heart.
