Women's Fiction.....

I do enjoy several genres of fiction......but I have to say that Women's Fiction is my very favorite.  Authors like Elin Hildebrand, Mary Alice Monroe, Dorthea Benton Frank, Anne River Siddons......there are many many more.  Women's Fiction is a hard classification.  Not quite Romance....more Just Life.  Women dealing with life's issues.  Good , really good , Women's Fiction delves into the psyche of women.  How problems are handled.  Family dynamics are torn, mended, torn, mended.  Friends are salvation.  Kids are raised.  Husbands are divorced or strengthened.  Jobs are lost. Careers are started.  Each element ebbs and flows and becomes part of the plot.  I usually make new friends through these books.  And turning the last page makes me sad.
