Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons by Lorna Landvik

Book description
Laughter is the glue that holds the women of Freesia Court together—and it is the foundation of a book group they call the AHEB (Angry Housewives Eating Bon-Bons).  Holding on through forty eventful years Faith, Audrey, Merit, Kari and Slip will take the plunge in the chaos that inevitably comes to those with the temerity to be alive and kicking.  This stalwart group of friends typifies a special slice of American life, of stay-at-home days and new careers, of children and grandchildren, of bold beginnings and second chances, in which the power of forgiveness, understanding, and the perfectly timed giggle fit is the CPR that mends broken hearts and shattered dreams. Published in 2003, 404 pages.
