Book Review-Country Club Wives

February 10, 2012 by Leave a comment

In County Club Wives, Sandra Gurvis draws us into an intensely competitive world where the “uniquely American syndrome, Jonesus Keepupwithus” reigns supreme. In this environment, designer duds, the right zip code and a perfect-seeming marriage are sought after with passion. And, yes. There’s also the country club membership.

Gurvis’s characters, from the country club wives to their spouses and families, grabbed my attention and I rooted for Tish, the main character, as she deals with devastating personal struggles. Through her challenges, she discovers what really matters in life. I highly recommend this book for hours of pleasurable reading!

~Kelly Boyer Sagert, author of 11 books, including the 2012 release of a two-volume set, Icons of Women’s Sport (ABC Clio).

Akron Jewish News~Book Review… By Cathi Conti Sinsabaugh, Editor, AJN

“…a fascinating collection of interviews that Korman conducted with show business icons as an entertainment writer for various Northeast Ohio publications between 1978 and 2008…”

“Korman’s book gives us a fascinating glimpse–a snapshot–into the lives of entertainment legends…”

“Korman’s breezy writing style makes the book a pleasure to read, and Korman packs it full of interesting facts, photos, and revealing anecdotes about each celebrity.”

“Korman kept…“time capsule” files on each celebrity he interviewed over the years–quite an extensive collection.”
