Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons

Synopsis of Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons

In Freesia Court, the women come together around life's table, convinced that there is nothing that good coffee, delicious desserts, and a strong shoulder cannot fix. Laughter is the glue that binds them, the foundation of a book club they call AHEB (Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons), an unofficial club that becomes a lifeline. Each of the five women has a story to tell. There's Faith, the newcomer, a housewife and mother who harbors a terrible secret; Audrey, big and beautiful, the resident sex queen who knows that with good posture and attitude you can get away with anything; Merit, the shy doctor's wife with the face of an angel and the private hell of an abusive husband; Kari, a wise woman with a wonderful laugh who knows that the greatest gifts appear after life's fiercest storms; and finally, Slip, activist and adventurer, a tiny spitfire who looks trouble straight in the eye and challenges it to arm wrestle. Enduring through forty eventful years, through the swinging sixties, the turbulent seventies, the anything-goes eighties, the nothing-is-impossible nineties, to the present day, they plunge into the chaos that inevitably comes to those who have the temerity to stay alive and kicking.
