The back cover makes you the presentation of the book as being part of those life-changing. Although I enjoyed my reading, I must say that this novel is far from having changed my life ... The four graces are four women with different characters but are linked by a long friendship of several years. They personally and collectively confront individual events (heartache, need child, disease, child abuse), and the novel is constructed so as to make us explore each sensitivity. Chapters narrator change each time and the same situations can be analyzed with the sensibilitées, or known information of each. The characters sometimes take to the caricature so I imagine that every reader can find in the characters a little herself. Faced with illness, I sometimes had the feeling that the book poured into an exaggerated sentimentalism ... But ultimately this book is a nice novel to read, which is well paced. I therefore advise, without expecting an internal revolution.
