next vignette is about a young married woman, Rebecca - only child of a minister who steals, talks to much and the end - I will let you read it. Definitely a surprise.

continues to be a bit confusing - I will have to review it when it comes time to discuss.
I can see why it was so popular.

Very poignant section for me. Henry K has a massive stroke. He is blind and deaf and does not recognize Olive. The prose is similar to my feelings about the death of my husband except Olive is a lot less attached to her husband. She rejects most of the standard phrases.

Olive just sabotaged her new daughter-in-law. Her son - 38- finally marries. Olive gets haughty about remarks she hears about her dress. She steals a shoe and bra from closet and marks a sweater just to keep things off balance. What a brat.

First part focuses on Olive husband who has an affair in his head with his assistant. Very touching.
