The Confession Club

Mason, Book 3

De: Elizabeth Berg

Narrado por: Elizabeth Berg

An uplifting novel about friendship, surprising revelations, and a second chance at love, from the New York Times best-selling author of The Story of Arthur Truluv.

When a group of friends in Mason, Missouri, decide to start a monthly supper club, they get more than they bargained for. The plan for congenial evenings - talking, laughing, and sharing recipes, homemade food, and wine - abruptly changes course one night when one of the women reveals something startlingly intimate. The supper club then becomes Confession Club, and the women gather weekly to share not only dinners but embarrassing misdeeds, deep insecurities, and long-held regrets.

They invite Iris Winters and Maddy Harris to join, and their timing couldn't be better. Iris is conflicted about her feelings for a charming but troubled man, and Maddy has come back home from New York to escape a problem too big to handle alone. The club offers exactly the kind of support they need to help them make some difficult decisions.

The Confession Club is charming, heartwarming, and inspiring. And as in the previous books that take place in Mason, listeners will find friendship, community, and kindness on full display.

Elizabeth Berg is the best!

Her stories are gentle accounts of everyday life. She has a collection of tales about humans being human.

I Confess I Loved this Book!

Listening to the author read her own words was chief among my reasons for thoroughly enjoying this book. EB has a real gift for delivering such authentic and heartfelt feelings through both her calming voice and her beautifully strung together words. Her slight pauses and swallowing only emphasized to me the feeling she was telling me a bedtime story. I loved John’s character especially but each character was so well drawn that they came to life for me.

I’ve read several of EB’s books and always found them thought provoking - I often pause to think more deeply about occasional paragraphs or chapters. I will continue to read most of her books….very enriching experience!

Thankful for this collection!

These stories came into my life at just the right time. So much disturbance going on in this world, in my world. What a relief to experience problems solved with love and comradery. I also enjoyed the author's narration. Even with her pauses and swallowing, like a lovely nurse read to me.

Another Author Who Should Stick to Writing

I enjoyed the premise of the story. But really, once a week confession club? That was hard to believe. Elizabeth Berg is one of my favorite authors, however, someone else, like a professional reader or actor, would have done a better job.

Wonderful storyteller

I love every book that Elizabeth Berg writes! Her stories speak to my soul! I’m always so sad when the book ends and I can’t wait for the next one to be published! Thank you for inspiring me!

Meh. Wanted to love it!

Ok. I, too, love Elizabeth Berg. Just not this book as much as her others. (Hard to top “Arthur Truluv .”) I love the women-and-friendship angle but a “Confession Club?” Not so much. Soooo many other things we women bond over than past “sins.” And … um … the author as narrator in this one? Sorry … just awful. Elizabeth BIRTHED these characters … but she reads them as if she has no idea who they are! Difficult to tell the characters apart. Monotone and plodding are the only ways to describe the narration. BUT … this was a quick, diversionary read and I will continue to give this series a chance.

Whistle drove me crazy

The narrator has a whistle in their nostril that drove me crazy! The last hour of this book was so distracting!

relaxing read

Easy book to read during this coronavirus confinement. Good to catch up with old characters.

FUNNY but Serious

I loved this gem of a book!! I could not put it down!! Please write more like this one Elizabeth. I will continue to search your name on audible and book stores! Fantastic read!!!!

So much wisdom in these “pages”

I love her love her love her! Her narration was excellent. There was so much in this book - phrases, sentences, paragraphs - that I read (listened to) 3 or 4 times. I copied a few things into my journal. Beautifully written. A few things reflected events or relationships in my own life & I gained new insight into them. This book has made a big impact on my life. Sounds dramatic, I know. But true.
