Book synopsis

A Kirkus Prize finalist An Indie Next pick "Exquisitely crafted . . . Witty, nuanced and ultimately moving." - Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air " Florence Gordon may be the most magnificent fiction character you will meet this year." - Christian Science Monitor Meet Florence Gordon: blunt and brilliant feminist icon to young women, invisible to everyone else. At seventy-five, Florence deserves to set down the burdens of family and work and shape her legacy at long last. But just as she begins writing her long-deferred memoir, her son Daniel returns to New York from Seattle with his wife and daughter, and they embroil Florence in their dramas, threatening her well-defended solitude. And then there's her left foot, which is starting to drag . . . With searing wit, sophisticated intelligence, and a tender respect for humanity in all its flaws, Brian Morton introduces a constellation of unforgettable characters. Chief among them Florence, who can humble fools with just one barbed line, but who eventually finds there are realities even she cannot outwit.
