The Girls of August
By: Anne Rivers Siddons
Rating: Good
This is a good book about four friends that reunite on different beaches for a girls week in August. Rachel, Barbara, Maddison, Cassandra are the four original girls of August. They met while their husbands were attending medical school. Cassandra and Teddy divorce and Teddy remarries Melinda who is later killed in a car accident. The girls reunited on Tiger Island South Carolina with new comer Baby, Teddy's new 20 something wife. The house belongs to Baby's family and she hopes that it will help her enter the group. The generation gap between the original three women and Baby make for some comical situations, and some unkind confrontations. Beautifully written in the style that Ms. Siddons is known for, The Girls of August is an entertaining read.
