We rejoin the characters from The Book Club Chronicles as they are
struggling with their lives and their loves. They are still
studying The Tale of Genji, with the same graduate student from
that previous time. Bill plots to return Annie to his life because
of his need for revenge or for a reconciliation? Annie resumes
writing after the death of Hans, and discovers the problems of
publishing. Claire flails around to find an outlet for her
intellectual energies. Katherine is having fun with her various
men, while still mourning the loss of her great love. Franny, who
has turned sour and angry, has become an annoying mystery. What is
a happy ending for these ladies, if there is such a thing as a
happy ending? While struggling they meditate on the nature of men
and women and of marriages as they continue reading the great
masterpiece from 12th century Heian Japan. Written in Japanese by
Murasaki Shikibu, a court lady, instead of the highly regarded
Chinese that the men wrote in, it is described as the worlds first
novel.
