商品簡介
The questions, discussion topics, and author biography that follow are intended to enhance your group's reading of Shelby Hearon's Life Estates . We hope they will provide you with new ways of looking at--and talking about--a book by an author whose work has been diversely compared to both the contemporary Laurie Colwin and the timeless Colette. Life Estates is a novel about marriage and mortality; about friendship and feminism; about love and loss; and about two women who believe they have lived parallel lives, but come to find out how wrong they really are.
