This is a fast read, and nobody says you can’t read beach books in the fall. The ending isn’t happily ever after, but there is the feeling that these women are all better equipped to manage their lives than they were at the beginning of the book. Each of the women has issues with loss, unemployed husbands, self-image, infidelity, or unfortunate in-laws, but most are resolved at the end. They meet another young mother who has her own tragic past, and take her into their circle of friends. Each of the women has her own unhappy circumstances to deal with, but they come to rely on one another as their lives unfold. The setting is New York City, where three very different strangers meet in a prenatal yoga class and become acquaintances and then fast friends. Those who are not mothers might think twice before getting pregnant! Anyone who is a mother will identify with something in this book. Little Earthquakes is chick lit, but good chick lit. Somehow I missed this book when it came out, and went directly from In Her Shoes to Goodnight, Nobody.
