review 1: This wasn't the most exciting book I've read. There have been a group of 4 women who are married to medical students who decide one August to go away for a week just to talk and relax while their husbands are busy at the hospitals where they work and learn. As each year goes by, the 4 women continue to rent a beach house and meet for one week. Their husbands move on to get into their specialties and their medical practices. As one doctor's wife is gone from the group, he remarries and the next wife joins. Finally when one wife passes away, the other 3 don't meet for about 3 years. Then there is a new wife so they are invited to her family's island for 2 weeks. The 4 women go and try to figure out the new, much younger wife. There are misunderstandings and squabbles but, of... more course, they all bond together in the end. This is a light read...one for a long weekend.
review 2: The Girls of August are in their 40's, wives of doctors who met when their husbands were in med school. They've been heading for a beach together for many years, spending a summer week together away from husbands and family. One of their number died 3 years ago and they haven't taken the week in that time. They're going this summer, and adding Baby to the group. She's the new wife of the widower and only 25. Everyone wonders if she can fit into the group. less
