my take: A bit of a cross between
Olive Kitteridge and
Emily, Alone, Florence is a somewhat crotchety feminist whose time in the lime light has come and mostly gone. Her abrasive personality has repelled most family members. In this tale of her fading fame, she and her family are thrown together for a summer in New York City.
The chapters flip between characters and some are just a page making it a quick read. It might be interesting to read this and
Being Mortal together.
my source: Daughter Anne suggested
my verdict: excellent read - and make sure you've read
Olive and
Emily
Two thumbs up here!
