What Members Thought
A short book which took a long-ish time to read. Tedious at times, and dated, but not altogether unlikable. The story/diary of a middle-aged woman, rather self-centered but still perceptive, she spends her summer on a beach in Uruguay with plans for solitude and work. Instead, she receives constant visits from her daughters (Dolores, Alejandra, and Nickie) and others who manage to distract her and give cause for much reflection on the past and the present. Oh, and the future too.
