What do you get when you combine five women, a shared love of reading and a park picnic table? The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton, of course.
In the late 1960’s five very different women meet as their children play in a Palo Alto park. United by their love of books and a shared passion for the Miss America Pageant, the five women – Frankie, Linda, Kath, Brett and Ally – become friends.

It is the Sixties in the Bay Area. Ah, this seems so familiar! As I read along about the five women who meet in the park every Wednesday, with their kiddies, the whole thing feels like it could have happened in my life.
That’s what is wonderfully cozy about this book. The reader feels the connection between the women and gets a little peek into their lives. The first-person narrator is one of the women, so the whole thing feels even more intimate.

The Wednesday Sisters are as delightful, insightful, and wonderful(ful) a group of women as you could ever hope to meet. Such a touching tale, I long for such sisterhood in my own life--to be able to bear my soul, raw and rough. This book is about people. About the power of being a woman. It is about you and me, your mother your sweetest sister-friend. I adored this book in a way I can't describe. So I'll just leave it at that, shall I?

Very nice heartwarming book. In the past I have not read this type of book...but after reading this it reminded me of the same style of the Calendar Girls in the aspect of friends pulling together and discovering themselves in the same process.
