Grace learns to Live
Carolyn See, author of "There Will Never Be Another You" and " Making a Literary Life" published this gem in 1981 - but the subject is ageless, and this is read is well worth revisiting today. Alternating between mental conversations (reports) from Grace, the 63-year-old protagonist, and her long-dead best friend, Pearl, and Journal entries from Garnet, Graces 38-year-old daughter, the mother-daughter dynamic is thoroughly explored, and entertainingly explained. Grace isn't a bad mother, just a frustrated pre-feminist, while Garnet is well meaning, but ineffective. This is really an examination of growing older, but the reader is happy to be along for the ride. If the award weren't copyrighted, I'd give this 2 thumbs up.
