Our book club has read and discussed CASCADE by Maryanne O'Hara. It is a sparkling gem that goes beyond typical fiction. It is extremely well written with profound multiple themes consisting of history, art, women's issues, literature, and Americana. We highly recommend the book. The story is brilliant. The characters and their relationships are realistic, meaningful and timeless. The 1930's historical setting is in our own backyard of Central Massachusetts and yet relevant with the human struggles of life today.
