The Confession Club by Elizabeth Berg. “A group of women, from young to old, all neighbors in the small town of Mason, Missouri, start a supper club which, through a series of events, morphs into a ‘confession club,’ wherein members take turns confessing secrets. I haven't read anything by Berg in years, and I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed her easy, lyrical style; her sympathetic characters. This is the third in Berg's Mason series, which begins with The Story of Arthur Truluv. I hadn't read that or the second book in the series. It's not strictly necessary to have done so, but it might have been more enjoyable if I had.”
