INSCRIBED BY DEBORAH SCHNITZER on ffep; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Unexpectedly, a series of events threatens the foundation of life Gertrude and Mildred have made together and tests their relationship in new ways. Mildred's 73-year-old hip is no match for an icy sidewalk, and long-time friend Wordie stares cancer in the face. Thirteen-year-old Arlie, aged beyond her tender years by the same illness, is a stalwart support, as is the thrice-married Perfume, on her way down a fourth aisle to eternal happiness - holding, perhaps, the key that makes the changes more bearable. This poetic and graceful novel explores the secrets and promises sustained by a love affair whose dimensions render speechless the most experienced of lovers.
