Description
At an intimate, festive dinner party in Seattle, six women gather to celebrate their friend Kate's recovery from cancer. Wineglass in hand, Kate strikes a bargain with them. To celebrate her new lease on life, she'll do the one thing that's always terrified her: white-water rafting. But if she goes, all of them will also do something they always swore they'd never do-and Kate is going to choose their adventures.
Shimmering with warmth, wit, and insight, Joy for Beginners is a celebration of life: unexpected, lyrical, and deeply satisfying.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“A joy to read. Bauermeister gives us characters who revel in the best of what life has to offer - loving relationships, fine food, good books, and travel - and she writes with keen observance and wry wit...Readers will be inspired to leap into their own lives with renewed gusto.” (Stephanie Kallos, author of Sing Them Home)
“Sensual...evocative.... A book designed to fill you up and make you hungry for life.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Bauermeister has created a cast of textured and nuanced characters who individually and as a group speak to what makes women interesting and enigmatic. Her prose is velvety smooth, revealing life at once mournful and auspicious. Joyful, indeed.” (Library Journal, starred review)
