Jean, Dianne, Julia

These are 3 lovely women coming of age in their world. Jean is the most interesting, I think, as her world was in the 30's and 40's where I was. She had a wonderful relationship with Eric who suddendly left her, only to return to her 50 years later. Dianne is married to a nice man who is trying to find the gene which causes breast cancer and is not as available to her as he should be. She thinks about a relationship with a handsome FBI man toward to end. Julia, I really don't like her, but I probably was a lot like her in my youth. This was my 5th by Thayer and I likd them aLL

A stirring look at three generations of women

This book is a good read; no more, no less. The story is well written, examining the lives and relationships of three generations of women. Jean, the eldest, is newly widowed, and is just beginning to do all the things she never got to do. Diane, her daughter, is approaching middle age with a less-than-satisfactory marriage, while her 16-year-old daughter Julia is experiencing the fierce pangs of first love. This is a great book for lazy summer days when you're looking for a worthwhile way to spend your time.
