Five women meet in a park in Palo Alto to watch their children play. All are educated but are in Palo Alto because of their high achieving husbands. They talk - about many things and some things they keep secret. Eventually they talk about books and, through books, more about themselves. Their Wednesday meetings take on necessary importance. And when they realize how unsatisfying some of their reading is, they talk about writing. With writing is more sharing and more acknowledgement of their own possible achievements. And so it goes. Chicklit perhaps but I bet it would initiate plenty of book group conversation.
