More About And Ladies of the Club
She was moved to a profound but pleasurable melancholy by the evidence that human life is brief and long survived by the material things it had believed itself to possess. Helen Hooven Santmyer, And Ladies of the Club // But surely, if you trust God, you can believe the bad moments pass, and the good memories are worth enough. Helen Hooven Santmyer, And Ladies of the Club // In a way, looking back, it seemed a long, long time since she had been eighteen, but in another way her memories were so clear and vivid that it seemed like yesterday. Time was an accordion, all the air squeezed out of it as you grew old. And how strange that in your mind you did not feel any older. You were the same person, but where had the years gone? Helen Hooven Santmyer, And Ladies of the Club //

The personal triumphs and tragedies of the characters, particularly Anne Gordon who is the closest thing to a protagonist in this... My favorite book of all time. It's about everyday life in an Ohio town from the end of the Civil War through the Depression. The book covers the lives of the ladies and their families in a literary club. It deals with their personal relationships that seem so real, it makes you feel like you're there. A very long book with over 1100... It took me 5 and a half months of inconsistent reading, but finally, I finished And Ladies of the Club! And it was worth it.All along, while I struggled to get through the pages, and frequently fell asleep after just a few, I *liked* the story. I liked the characters, and I liked the insight that the book gave me to the timelessness...
