The title of Claire Cook's new, 2009 novel, The Wildwater Walking Club appealed to me when I read about it in a blog a few days ago so I requested it from the library. It was just what I needed.
This is not great literature, but it's not chick lit either. It's well written and the main character is real enough for me to care about her and her attempt to pull her life together and find what she wants to do with herself. If she were to find love, too, well, that wouldn't be unrealistic for this kind of book.
I learned a good deal about growing lavender, the athletic shoe business, and Sequim, Washington. I relaxed and was entertained. This book, at this time, was just right.
