Summary: Subtle but moving
Comment: The general review is correct: there is nothing particularly surprising in the plot of this book. It will not drag you along in suspense waiting for the next unforseen plot twist. But if you are anything like me, you will get completely swept up because you care for these flawed but wonderful, completely relate-able characters. I laughed myself stupid, I got mushy and wrote grateful letter to my friends, I cried a little too. It was just a great read. I am giving all my female friends a copy of this book for christmas.

Summary: Gaffney just gets better and better
Comment: After a week of reading complex, "deep" books, sinking into this one was a special pleasure, like meeting an old friend after spending several years apart and being able to relax, not work at the relationship. I've always enjoyed reading Gaffney's books but this one is her best yet..full of quirky, yet endearing women, each faced with a unique challenge - illness, infertility, marital troubles,etc. Luckily, there is plenty of humor and charm as well.
I don't want to give too much away here but female readers will definitely relate to the women here, root for them and be touched by their struggles. If you think the plot is going to be predictable, you might even be in for some surprises. Yes, this is "women's fiction" but that doesn't mean it is fluffy or trivial. A delight!

Summary: Nominate Me, Graces!
Comment: Ah, to be a part of their group would be profoundly sweet.... The power of friendship over time, the beauty of loving support and individuality within the bounds of differences, disagreements, breakdowns, break ups and come togethers is the heart of "The Saving Graces".
It is rare for me to appreciate each character of a book like I do in this one. I have to admit a tendency to like Emma the best only because, like me, she is a writer.
Gaffney captures the essence of long-term friendship between women. The text is easy and enjoyable to read. It made me think without being heavy, brought me emotionally into the story without exhausting me.
Perfect read for someone on hiatus from "deep thinking" forms of writing without being too schmaltzy or completely predictable.
