A chance encounter with a stranger in an airplane sends Elyse Bearden into an emotional tailspin. Suddenly , Elyse is willing to risk everything :her safe but stale marriage, her seemingly perfect life in an affluent Southern suburb, and her position in the church. As Elyse embarks on a risky affair, her long time friend Kelly and the other women in their book club begin to question their own decisions about love, sex, marriage, and freedom.( Back of the Book)
Elyse- Main character- telling the story
Phil- Husband
Kelly- Best friend
Gerry- married
This book is about the story of the Elyse and the way her marriage ends. It shows the different seasons and the changes that occur with her friends and her.
It interesting that they discuss books in their book club that are relevant to them at the time like Madame Bovary or Charles Dickens.
Elyse does all that she can to to save the marriage and they go to counseling with their friend Jeff who is also their pastor. There was a interesting scene with Phil and Elyse and made me question more of Phil and his issues.
A great line: No body's dead.Who ever told you two that marriage was supposed to be easy ?
