It took me forever to get around to this book, despite great recommendations by people whose judgement I trust. Gentle drama, set in Maine, about a post-menopausal woman, told in (ack) a set of stories.. nothing was making me run to the library for this one. But it was great. I will now join the chorus of people recommending it.

This book was stellar! Bear is funny, intellectual and feeling. Ze made me think about gender, religion, love, family, judaism, and sexuality. This book made me grow, a trait of any truly excellent book. Some people won't like it, because it will make some people uncomfortable. But I think that being uncomfortable is a good thing, because we are forced to stretch and bend. Exploring what we believe and we think we know about ourselves, our families and our friends can only be good for the world.
