A coming of age for a senior woman!

Because I am of a similar age to that of Willa, the main character, I related mightily, but I fear the story might not resonate as well with those of other ages and genders. That said and done, though, Ann Tyler is a master character weaver. I dove in to Willa and even thought about her dilemmas when I wasn't reading. She faced situations akin to many aging but healthy women who have abandoned their own wishes and hopes and even talents in preference for their families.
