<p>Called <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/and-the-ladies-of-the-club" target="_blank"><em>&#8220;&#8230;And the Ladies of the Club&#8221;</em></a>, the story revolves around the members of the Waynesboro Women&#8217;s Club and their families and friends covering a period from 1868 to 1932.</p>
<p><span id="more-402"></span>Yesterday I finished a review of this book on a Squidoo lens. Because the book is so long, my copy is almost 1200 pages, I found it very hard to give a good synopsis of the story.  So much happens to the characters during that period, it&#8217;s just not possible or even desirable to include specific events in a review.</p>
<p>Even so, the lens has already been well received with good comments, many saying they like the sound of the book and might read it. As I&#8217;ve read this book twice with an interval of nearly 30 years between the two readings, I hope people do read it. I think it repays the effort of getting through so many pages. In fact, I was so captivated by the characters and their lives that the book never felt too long.</p>
