Where Somebody Waits is a story told
by many characters but the main character is Ruby Davidson. As a teenager she has a passionate love affair
with John Clay. When he goes off to
fight in WW II she meets, falls in love with, and marries Bubba, a shop owner
from a tight knit Jewish family who is much older than Ruby.
John Clay eventually returns home and
the story that follows is told by Ruby, John Clay, and Ruby’s nieces and
nephews. This is a good, well written
book, and is an interesting chronicle of that time in our nation’s history.
By the end of the book, and the end of
Ruby’s life, we have learned of her loves, friendships, and family ties. I would recommend this book and I think it
would be a good book club book.
