Espero sobre todo haber sido capaz de recrear el espritu de la dcada de los setenta, una poca que vista en retrospectiva y comparada con lo que vino despus parece sorprendentemente inocente. Hubo en ella poco de la maldad de los setenta o de la fra codicia de los ochenta.

At the center of this novel are two women—worlds apart, yet neighbors—who come together by chance in a neighborhood pharmacy. Janna, a middle-aged contemporary woman is the editor of a women's magazine. She is good at her work and her life seems to her a success. Then there is Maudie, skinny, rag-and-bone tattered and in her late eighties, she is a bundle of ferocity who has spent the last years sustaining herself on pride, and expressing that pride as a cat’s hissing anger. This strong and affecting novel traces the friendship of these wildly disparate women.
