Reviews

“A soothing slice of small-town life.”—People 

“You needn’t have read the previous Mason installments to savor The Confession Club. . . . [Elizabeth Berg’s] language is gentle, her stories complex: simple outside and rich inside, like a pound cake from Iris’s kitchen.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune
 
“The Confession Club shows that family doesn’t have to be defined in the traditional sense, home isn’t always where we expect it to be, and the love of friends is all we really need.”—Booklist
 
“The literary equivalent of well-worn slippers, a glass of wine, and no wellness diets in sight.”—Kirkus Reviews
