Any charm will work for an easy life, Margaret hears her grandmother tell others, depending on the flexibility of your idea of an easy life. Life doesn't have to be easy, when it's this interesting. Set in Second World War America, main character Margaret is anchored into her life by her intelligent legendary self made "physician" grandmother Charlie Kate. Charlie Kate's lived out brand of feminism and confident advice makes a big impression on Margaret, outshining her mother's fatalistic romantism. Gibbon's writing is always delightful and welcoming and this book is no exception.
