| One of my favorite combinations in a novel is when I laugh and am moved in the same moment. Kate Feiffer deftly accomplishes both of these things in this book. There is so much to relate to here. So many of laughs amidst the many moments of recogniti ...more | |

| A multi-layered, propulsive story that takes place in one day in the life of a 60 year old woman. There’s wisdom and humor and beautiful writing and — book groups take note — a lot to discuss! Loved it! | |
“Back behind the wheel, it didn’t take long for her thoughts to turn to Callie, but every time she tried to picture her youngest sister, she came up blank. Glory’s prohibition against photographs had done its work. Her mother’s reasons changed depending on her mood. Sometimes it was, They’re just dust magnets. Other times it was, I prefer to start every day fresh. But now, with Julia gone, Ginger finally understood it. Her mother had banned photographs because the captured memories were painful to see”

“When it was her turn to order, she asked for coffee with room for milk. Her generous interpretation of why Nick overfilled her cup so much that black liquid sloshed on the counter? The place was noisy and the boy couldn’t hear. The time it took for Ginger to figure out what Nick meant, in dollars, when he rang her up and said, “That will be three hundred and fourteen cents”? Just under a minute. Duration of Nick’s independent-coffee-shop job? Four days. Reason for termination, according to Julia? Owner had no sense of humor.”

“Ginger was well aware of the difference between how she was perceived at school and how she felt at home. At school she was a reliable, efficient, clear-headed thinker. At home, she felt like a poster child for the derailed. In the past, she’d tried to apply her no-nonsense nurseness to her off-duty home life, but she never managed to make it work. This was how it would go: a boy at school would complain that he had to keep clearing his throat, and she’d confidently reassure him it was probably just a cold. If the problem persisted, she would call home and suggest the mother take him to an allergist. But if Julia complained of the same postnasal drip, instead of thinking allergist, Ginger would suddenly remember the mother she met at Field Day whose brain tumor had presented with exactly that symptom.”
