I just finished Matrimony, by Joshua Henkin. This is a story about relationships over a period of 15-20 years and centers around two couples as they go from college into marriage and how they each interact with family members and friends outside of their circle. Henkin does a remarkable job of describing the day to day conflicts. The characters are not perfect, but that makes them all the more believable and the story is very well written. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of his books in the near future.
I heard about this book from Everyday I Write The Book and Gayle was kind enough to send me a copy. Thank you Gayle. She is hosting an online bookclub for this book on May 22nd. If you want more info on this, click here.
I just received Matrimony, by Joshua Henkin in the mail. Thanks to Gayle over at Everyday I Write The Book. She is hosting an online book club for this book sometime in the middle of May. I just love to participate in these events and getting the book in the mail is just like Christmas! I am starting it tonight and cannot wait.
Another exciting event to mention is the Blog Talk Radio Show that will be hosted by Book Club Girl on May 22nd. The discussion book is The Space Between Us, by ThrityUmrigar. The author will be on hand to answer questions from readers. What a treat!
I have also been spending some time updating my Goodreads account. If anyone would like to add me as a friend, my account name is booktime. I love to see what other people are reading.
