Description

In this award-winning novel that Maureen Corrigan of NPR's "Fresh Air" deems “exquisitely crafted...witty, nuanced, and ultimately moving,” a wise, septuagenarian woman who has lived life on her own terms finds herself thrust into the center of her family's various catastrophes. � A Best Book of the Year by NPR, the San Francisco Chronicle, Salon, The Millions, the Christian Science Monitor - Finalist for the Kirkus Prize - A Chicago Tribune Editor's Choice - An Indie Next Pick � Meet Florence Gordon, a blunt, brilliant feminist. At seventy-five, Florence wants to be left alone to write her memoir and shape her legacy. But when her son and his family come to visit, they embroil Florence in their dramas, threatening her coveted solitude. Marked with searing wit, sophisticated intelligence, and a tender respect for humanity, Florence Gordon is cast with a constellation of unforgettable characters. Chief among them is Florence herself, who can humble fools with a single barbed line, but who eventually finds that there are some realities even she cannot outwit. � “Smart, funny, and compassionate...[Florence Gordon] is a treat.” --People � “Hilarious and addictive.”--San Francisco Chronicle � “It's such a clich� to say a book makes you laugh and cry, but this one does, in the deftest way."--Emily Gould, Paste � “Deliciously sharp and deeply sympathetic . . . a truly gifted novelist.”--Adam Kirsch, Tablet
