The Golden oldies' book club by Judy Leigh

This book taught me what good writing is. I fell in love with it, at the very beginning, going by the positive reviews and the author's prologue that spoke about the main character, Jeannie and her one and only passion: apple farming. 

Jeannie's life is palpably blissful thanks to her apple farming. The author begins introducing her apple farm and how her lovely family and friends pitch in to make the experience exhilarating. Her narration--simple, descriptive and transporting--captures our attention and we begin to feel pangs of admiration as we read. The everyday life of Jeannie, her feisty old mother, Violet and her family--especially Jeannie's twin grand-children connects with us and we begin to feel at home. The stories of the people around Jeannie are interesting and the book club sessions reveal a slice of the minds of misogynistic men.

The storyline is everything about Jeannie and the people around her. It's very well written. But, the storyline could have been better. So, I'd give it 3.5/5.
