Where Somebody Waits by Margaret Kaufman 200 pages



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.
