My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
I hate to use the tired word 'refreshing', but this book actually was. Sort of a self reflective, real life day to day happenings in the life of a 60 yo woman. I have read many chick lit looks into the lives of 24 yo single gals, and 32 yo new mothers and their trials and tribulations, and the mother figure sort of drops in and out of their stories as convenient, without living their own story. This book was the whole other point of view.
It wasn't earth shaking revelations or anything. In fact it was rather ordinary. But the fact that it gave the main charater a voice without cliches, and tooled through life and death, control and choices, without judging was very satisfying.
