I don’t know if I’m obsessed with old-people protagonists lately or what, but I recently finished this book (the latest in me and Z’s 2-Man Book Club) and competely loved it.   Highly recommended by both Katie and my mom, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect from this novel-in-short-stories, but it’s a moving, powerful, insightful book about life and loss and regret and aging and human beings, with the title character - a tough, complicated woman in her late 60’s - weaving her way through all 13 stories.  This sounds sorta ridiculous, but it gave me new insight into, and appreciation for, old people, especially old married couples.  Very worth reading.
