The Widows Wine Club

 

The Widows’ Wine Club by Julia Jarman- women's fiction

Three women  meet at a group for newly bereaved widows. They think they have seen each other before- which they have inadvertently at the undertakers. On seeing that the club is full of fusty women playing cards they quickly head out for a coffee and so begins friendship. They have new lives to navigate and something to fill the hole that was their husband in one way or another. This tells of their adventures, of meeting new friends, of dating and so much more.

I really enjoyed this. There’s a camaraderie between the pages and even in the difficult times that sense of pick me up and someone there, even if they don’t quite see eye to eye, which I feel most will understand. There’s a sense of fun and humour, it's a book to lift the spirits and see the good in the world and the importance sometimes of friends who can take a step back and see the picture slightly differently. Of life and love, of hope and laughter. A wonderful tonic of a read I highly recommend

The Widows’ Wine Club The beginning of Janet, Viv and Zelda’s friendship could not have been less promising… Navigating their new lives as widows, the three women venture to the same dreary bereavement group in a chilly church hall. But what bonds them is not their shared predicament, but instead how quickly they all decide to flee the depressing gathering, choosing instead to share a bottle of wine. The Three Muscat-eers is born. The women may be down but they’re not out; in their sixties but certainly not past it. They agree a mission: to find fulfilment as single women and recover their joie de vivre. And as they start to feel ready to face the world again, the friends support each other to dive headlong into new hobbies, new adventures, and even to dip their toes into the wonderful world of dating again. When one of the ladies gets life-changing news, there’s only one thing for it. The Widows’ Wine Club closes rank, and it’s ‘one for all and all for one’. Because when they stick together, there’s nothing the friends can’t achieve. Purchase Link - https://mybook.to/widowswineclubsocial
