- Summary
- "Suzanne Blume has survived two marriages, had a successful career as a lawyer, put two children through college, and is enjoying her first sexual relationship in more than ten years. Her teaching duties at a Boston university allow her just enough time to take on important cases, and most Saturdays she manages a few hours with her closest friend.
- Suzanne is not pleased when her older daughter, Elena, loses yet another job and moves back home, but, she has to admit, life at forty-nine has yielded some unexpected pleasures. Then one day a messenger appears in court to announce that her mother, a woman of legendary independence, whom Suzanne has never felt truly accepted her, has been rushed to the hospital."--BOOK JACKET.
- "Intertwining the lives of three generations of contemporary women, Marge Piercy brings her exceptional talents to bear on some of the most pressing questions facing us today: How do we nurture children who cannot possibly live up to the dreams we've created for them? How do we choose between our own needs and those of the people we love? How do we learn to become a family again after years of carving out independent lives?"--BOOK JACKET.
