I like the way each chapter focuses on one of the women, describing her life up until they buy the necklace, and then how life changes for them once they are in the group. It is fascinating!

Diamonds!
I have just read a gorgeous book called The Necklace, about 13 women who each contribute money to buy a diamond necklace worth $37000! They take turns to wear the necklace and use it to raise funds for different charities. The women become very close friends and their lives become greatly enriched through friendship and sharing. It's a true story!

ReplyDeleteNo, I don't speed read. But, usually, I read for half an hour in the morning, about half an hour after school, and about an hour before bedtime. My housework isn't perfect though!! And I know yours is!
