I received an electronic ARC from Melville House Publishing through NetGalley.
Segal's wit shines through this collection of short stories about a group of elderly women who get together less and less as they age. These stories capture aging in its joy and weariness. Readers come with them as they gather for lunch each month and as they reminisce about events in their lives that shaped them. Each story could stand on its own but they are at their best when woven together in the reader's mind to tell the entire picture of these women. You'll find your favorites among them and you'll laugh and then cry as they reveal more about themselves.
She is a master at the light touch with the punch underneath.
Interesting stories. These stories are told in an interesting way. I liked most of them, and there's a decent variety. I really appreciate the free copy for review!!
I don't know if I am not smart enough for this book, but I was completely lost while reading this. The stories were hard to follow despite being short and I barely understood what was happening.
