Synopsis

Book by Chotzinoff Robin

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

There was a wooden picnic table under the grape arbor, where Zelma sat all day when she wasn′t actively gardening. She shelled peas, wrote letters, and mended clothes there. The older she got, she said, the less she wanted to be inside. Following Zelma′s model, I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden, doing whatever the hell I want. There was a time when this would have sounded unfulfilled to me, if not downright depressing, but now I look forward to it. Robin Chotzinoff From the Introduction

Revue de presse :

"She's got a little Dave Barry, a little Ellen Goodman, a little Marion Winik."-Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Surprisingly, the most interesting parts of the book are not the 'sweaty people' themselves, but Chotzinoff's observations about their pursuits and her own quest."-Rocky Mountain News
