Her characters are not young, hunky, and confused - instead they are older, experienced, and possess beautiful souls rather than bodies. This opens the story up to interesting exchanges about morals, guilt, and general life expectations.īerg writes comforting books - books where happy endings exist and joy can be found even by those who least expect it as a possibility. As a kind of Greek chorus, we also meet a group of women who belong to the Confession Club, where each meeting focuses discussion on one woman’s confession of perceived misdeed or general shame. The target of her affections is a man most would consider inappropriate - a homeless man who has taken up residence in a nearby abandoned farm. Iris Winters - almost 50, renting the house where Arthur Truluv once lived, and continuing Lucille Howard’s baking classes - falls slowly and gently in love. The Confession Club is the third book in the continuing chronicles of Mason, Missouri (aka the Arthur Truluv sequels). The book will be published on November 19th, 2019. Thank you to Random House and NetGalley for providing an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Here are a couple of photos that have nothing whatsoever to do with the book! But so beautiful! Look past them for the review of Elizabeth Berg’s The Confession Club…
