The Writing Circle

The Writing Circle by Corinne Demas is about a group of writers that call themselves the Leopardi Circle. They meet weekly to read and critique each others work, and it was fun to have a peek into this world.

Nancy, the newest member of the group is wary of Gillian, a world famous poet. As the story unfolds, told through several different voices, the intrigue mounts and the plot thickens.

I was deeply engrossed in this novel until the end. I found it ended in a way that was much too quick, unbelievable, and mildly disturbing. It left me wanting a much better ending for what had been an engrossing story up to that point. Disappointing.
