By May Sarton, 1973
A
novel about the powerlessness of the old and the rage it can bring. Tells
Caroline’s story, a 76-year-old who has been moved into a "home."
Subjected to subtle humiliations and cruelties, she fights back, and in a
powerful climax wins a terrible victory. Reminds us of the inevitability of
aging and the immensity of the care-giving responsibility.
