Best book in years
I read a book a week and have been doing this for years. Kate Zernike's book The Exceptions is one that should be on everyone's reading list. Zernike knows how to build a story to a smashing conclusion. My gut was in a twist as this small group of women had to fight for every inch of respect. When they beat the system and brought the house down I was on my feet cheering.
