My Review
The Silver-Haired Sisterhood by Judy Leigh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Silver-Haired Sisterhood is a cute feel good novel. The story explores themes of aging, loss and grieving, marriage breakup, friendship, new beginnings, etc.
The story is light and not particularly realistic but still enjoyable.
I loved that the characters are mostly older women. It is important for people to see that it is possible to continue living and being vibrant as we age. I also liked the portrayal of the friendships and the way the characters all rallied around each other as needed.
There are a few parts where I found the story dragged on a bit but mostly it was a quick read. I did enjoy the descriptions of the Scottish scenery.
