Betsy Lerner

The Bridge Ladies

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A Bridge club provides an unexpected connection across a generational divide between mother and daughter. Betsy Lerner tells a funny, intimate, and deeply affecting story that's a little about Bridge and a lot about life. After a lifetime of defining herself against her mother's Don't Ask, Don't Tell generation, Lerner found herself back home in the suburban town that represented everything she wanted to flee: namely the traditional life her mother stood for. Yet, when Roz needed help after surgery, Betsy stepped in. She expected a week of tense civility; what she got were the Bridge Ladies. Impressed by their faithful visits, she saw something her own generation lacked: Facebook was great, but it wouldn't deliver a pot roast. Tentatively at first, Betsy became a regular at her mother's Monday Bridge club, falling under the spell of the intimidating game. Unexpectedly, the Bridge Ladies became a catalyst for change as Betsy and Roz reconciled years of painful misunderstandings and harrowing silences. The Bridge table became the common ground they never had. Darkly funny and deeply moving, The Bridge Ladies is the unforgettable story of a hard-won?but never-too-late?bond between mother and daughter.
