A sus sesenta y cinco años la dramaturga Sarah Durham se enamora de un bello y joven actor y luego de un director teatral, algo más maduro, pero al que también dobla en edad. Al encontrarse en un estado de permanente deseo que creía propiedad exclusiva de las mujeres jóvenes, Sarah se ve obligada a revisar su historia sentimental, desde la más tierna infancia hasta sus obsesiones más recientes.

At the center of this novel are two women—worlds apart, yet neighbors—who come together by chance in a neighborhood pharmacy. Janna, a middle-aged contemporary woman is the editor of a women's magazine. She is good at her work and her life seems to her a success. Then there is Maudie, skinny, rag-and-bone tattered and in her late eighties, she is a bundle of ferocity who has spent the last years sustaining herself on pride, and expressing that pride as a cat’s hissing anger. This strong and affecting novel traces the friendship of these wildly disparate women.
