Charms for the Easy Life by Kaye GibbonsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What makes this book such a gem, other than Gibbons' masterful pen, is that the characters are exquisitely present in their lives. You do not see this in the lives of women in this century. Charlie Kate, Sophia and Margaret - each are living the life they want to live. - not terribly complicated lives, but luxuriously meaningful and purposeful lives.
I did not want the story to end. I want to hear from grandmother every day - her witty and, yes, dazzling observations are priceless. The book is a hoot from start to finish, but it is much, much more than just funny. It makes you look back. It makes you find the warmest corners of your childhood - the moments without a goal or objective - the beautiful, flawed, hilarious, simple, poignant moments that fill a heart, that make a life. I really liked that.
