I just got this book today and haven't read it yet so it is not available for trade at this time.

From the jacket: For five American Air Force wives, Norfolk, England, in 1952 is a long way from home. But Peggy Dewey and her friends are determined to make the most of their overseas mission. While their husbands patrol the skies in F-84 fighters, the high-spirited group of military wives and young moms staves off homesickness by clipping coupons, trading gossip, and going to London to see Princess Elizabeth "get coronated." Over a stick of Juicy Fruit, brass polisher Audrey Rudman, good-time girl Lois Moon, alcohol-loving Gayle Jackson, "Pie Crust Queen" Betty Gillis and the ever reliable Peggy meet a scrappy Englishwoman named Kath Pharaoh and a lasting friendship is forged. Through marriage and divorce, separations and reunions, the gang will try to hold fast to one another... in a story that takes us to the heart of female friendship - and reveals the secret of the perfect Three Color Refrigerator Cake.

I liked this book a lot. It would be a great summer by the lake book. It's not heavy reading but it's a fun book to read. It has several recipes in it too, some quite funny.

I'm sending this off to aisho today. I hope you like it!

What an interesting looking book...wish I was laying on the beach eating ice-cream like the ladies on the cover! I'll cover this one in mylar to protect it for its future journeys and add this to the TBR (but promise to read the one I owe you first!!!) =)

I REALLY enjoyed this book and decided to share it with one of my volunteers in the library. I hope she will journal her thoughts, but even if she doesn't I know she will pass it on! =)
