Ruth Kern's The Ladies Who Lunch
This insightful novel by Ms. Kern provides a compelling look at the changing dynamics of behavior and morals in our modern society. The story centers around four middle-aged women who were raised with strict Christian and Victorian principles, and the challenges they face as these traditional values collide with the realities of their lives.
Linda, the quintessential "cute little blond," finds herself confronted with her husband's infidelity, leading her to make the difficult decision to divorce him. Natalie, a moral and slightly overweight woman with a penchant for chocolate, finds herself swept off her feet by a handsome stranger, only to be disillusioned by him later as she breaks her marriage vows.
Bridgette, a feisty divorcee, is determined to remarry a wealthy man in order to regain her place in the elite Rolling Hills society, from which she was previously ousted after her husband's divorce. In contrast, Rebecca is the only character living the idyllic life that the others had once envisioned, happily married with grown children who are now making her and her husband grandparents.
The author's narrative is both humorous and sensitive, as it delves into the emotional trials these women are facing. The novel is a poignant exploration of how the breakdown of traditional social and moral norms has impacted the lives of these characters, drawing comparisons to Edith Wharton's "The Age of Innocence," which also examined the strict Victorian-era codes of behavior.
In contrast to the lighthearted "Desperate Housewives" series, Ms. Kern's novel offers a more realistic and insightful portrayal of the challenges faced by modern women navigating the shifting landscape of relationships and societal expectations. The book surpasses the popular "First Wives Club" in its depth and nuance, providing a thought-provoking commentary on the evolving roles and experiences of women in today's world.
Through the stories of these four women, the novel highlights the profound impact that the changing rules of behavior and morals have had on individuals, challenging readers to consider the complex interplay between traditional values and modern realities. Ms. Kern's work serves as a poignant and engaging exploration of the emotional and societal transformations that have shaped the lives of women in our contemporary society.
