Hot Flash Holidays: A Novel ReviewJust in time for the holidays, Nancy Thayer brings out her third book in the Hot Flash series. Christmas finds the five friends gathered at The Haven, a successful spa that recovering alcoholic Shirley opened and that first brought the women together. All are planning festive and often complicated holiday celebrations centered on immediate and extended families. The best-laid plans are thrown asunder when Polly goes home to prepare a vegetarian Christmas dinner for her son and daughter-in-law and nearly burns her house down. Faye tumbles down the stairs and breaks an ankle on Christmas Eve just as out-of-town family are waiting to be picked up at the airport. The other Hot Flash Club members struggle and rejoice through Christmas, all the while giving moral support to their downed friends.
The book moves through the year, touching on holidays and their significance to each vibrant member of the club, with romances blooming and fading, families expanding, and health crises bringing poignant focus to the meaning of their lives.
A more disparate group of women you could scarcely find --- Shirley, the aging hippy who opened The Haven, is involved with a much younger boyfriend whom she supports financially and emotionally while he writes a novel, and she hopes for an engagement ring under the tree.
Type-A workaholic Alice, who inspired Shirley to go into business for herself, finds herself on the verge of grandmother-hood when her son marries a woman Alice believes is inappropriate for him. She also disapproves of Shirley's romantic partner and lovingly but forcefully inserts herself into the lives of her friends.
Paleontologist Marilyn, recently widowed, struggles with a new love interest who doesn't seem to fill the bill. Her aging mother, Ruth, is delightful but forgetful and presents a special set of circumstances that challenges Marilyn to seek new horizons that will change her life.
Faye's broken ankle and semi-invalidism goes from a disaster to a surprising success as her artistic nature re-emerges and she turns from teaching to creating again.
Polly, the younger newcomer to the group, turns her talented fingers to spinning gold as she designs and creates fashions perfectly suited for the members of the spa.
Nancy Thayer has created a lively, believable group of women who range in age from mid-fifties to Marilyn's charming octogenarian mother. They tackle problems that will tug at the heartstrings and resonate with female readers of that certain age everywhere.
