I loved this book, and I am sorry to see that it apparently did not reach a large audience. I found it witty and engaging. I'm afraid the title did not help its popularity as it is rather misleading and gives no hint what the book about. ( ) A british woman's husband tells her he has lost their fortune in the economy and the family must move to New York City so he can take a much lower paying job. The story follows the lives of the people she meets at her sons school and her neighbors. I found it a but confusing at times to keep the characters straight.

At page 70 the book has just started to give the back story to a second character, much less explore the relationships between the characters. Setting it down one last time. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. NO ONE COULD HAVE GUESSED THE WEATHER had its good points and bad. I loved the story of the four women and the friendships they formed while they juggled the responsibilities of work, home, children, and the difficulties those duties encompassed. While Lucy struggles at first with the down-sizing of every aspect of her life, she is the one who is the strongest character. Julia, who is stressed out to the point of leaving home and family, works hard at figuring out how to make her life less demanding. Christy is a trophy wife to a much older man and has everything, but yet is not really happy with her marriage. Her husband uses his money to control her. Christy was definitely the weakest character. Robyn just works at getting by day by day, and becomes stronger with time. The link among these women is the commonality of their situations; the problems they face individually are the same. There was a lot of time spent developing the characters, which I normally love. However, Casey didn’t get into the plot until half way through the book. I kept waiting for the four women to connect and it just didn’t happen soon enough for me. I love reading and rarely find a book I don’t like, but I struggled to finish this one. I give this one three stars.
