This is a story that sounds bleak but is instead hopeful and lightly comic. Emily is aging, widowed, reflecting on her life, fearing infirmary, wishing for closer family ties and preparing for a diminishing future. No self-pity here, though. She quietly and with determination expands her independence, starting with purchasing her very first car and taking to the road again. This is an unhurried novel—perfect for a long summer evening.
