About this listen
While her 77-year-old husband lies upstairs, dying, Anna Robison spends her depleting energy defending their home. Their three middle-aged daughters and 23-year-old granddaughter have invaded, radiating vigor and good intentions. But the younger women temper their help with squabbling, ill-considered advice, and an abundant supply of their own problems.
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley brilliantly captures the simple pleasures and troubles common to everyday life.
