The story of her custom bed; meant first for romance and second to comfort her gigantic girth, is a perfect metaphor for the changes in life. This Grandmother encompasses Nana’s everywhere in what we hold in our minds: the voice, the appetites and the rules of powerful matriarchs in every family. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1014327?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
