Title: Corny, trite, and you've heard it all before
Product review: Joan Erikson is the magical old lady who spouts platitudes and wears funny straw hats to help the poor Joan Anderson deal with the privilege of having a mid-life crisis in a lovely beach house. They weave tapestries that represent life stages with different colors and they bond with seals. Their first meeting involves bits of wisdom about fog, and growing old, and being carefree, and nowhere do either of these women speak like real human beings, at least not human beings you don't want to smack or run far away from. The book is cloying and tries way too hard to be fraught with deep meaning. Poorly written and insulting to the intelligence, the middle-aged, and the elderly. There's nothing real or revolutionary about any of them. Two stars because I did manage to get through the whole thing but that's probably due to more to my book club than the book itself.
