The Future Homemakers of America ReviewMy daughter recommended this book to me over Thanksgiving. In fact, I took her copy home to read. From the first meeting of all the characters, I loved these women and could commiserate with their lives. Graham perfectly describes life in the Uk right after the war. It was still pretty dull and dreary. Country people were just like Kath.
Peggy, the protagonist, is the glue that holds the book and the characters together. Through life and death, famine and fortune, as well as the normal ups and downs of daily life, we are given a good dose of tolerance as well as hope.
Peggy waits it out for a better relationship with her daughter. She is ahead of her time by befriending and choosing Grice as her co-worker. She is patient with the bizarre behavior of her other friends.
I did find it rather sad that so many of the men in the book were losers. However, by being such, these women were given more of a chance to develope themselves into more interesting people.
The fifties were a time of change. Women had so much freedom during the war years and now their men came back and could not tolerate having wives as smart if not smarter than them. The military wives even more so had to play the game.
Graham does a wonderful job of describing in detail the appearances, clothing, and decor of every character and setting.
The saddest thing is the condition that was passed on from John Pharoah's liaison with Lois. With little information in those times, an unsupervised John was an accident waiting to happen. It shows though that with the changing times, Kath brought the issue to the forefront, thus sparing another generation agony. Although, Kirk's son tested free of the dreaded Huntington's disease.
I want to read more of Laurie Graham's book now. They are wonderful, relaxing and hard to put down. Just one tiny error. She has President and Mrs. Reagan attending Diana's wedding, when in fact it was Mrs. Reagan alone.The Future Homemakers of America Overview
