 How One Woman's Life Was Transformed by the Library

“The daughter of one of the titular "ladies", who has played bridge for many years with the same group, observes, plays, and writes about her mother and these women she has known all her life. The author's observations over time improve her opinion of her mother, her mother's generation, and the choices they made.” --Ruth, Meadows
