| Forty-year-old Cecilia “CiCi” Dupree feels much older than her age. She has recently filed for divorce from Bert but believes she should have killed him and buried him at the sacred canine peeing ground, after seeing him kissing a neighbor’s daughter barely older than their teen. CiCi has just taken her widow mom, Belle, out of the Parkview nursing home to live with her and her college-age daughter, Erin.
However, the three generations of females under one roof cause an overflow of estrogen that drives the one in the middle over the edge. Using lists to keep track of the demands by her mom and her daughter, CiCi knows that being the Sandwiched generation leaves no time for her. Yet she wonders if she would have it any other way, as the women find they have different needs, different desires, and different perspectives yet share the need, desire, and perspective of loving relationships. The family drama is told by rotating perspectives that reflect the background of the individual woman as she tells her side. Whereas CiCi uses a first person narration, Belle sends letters to her deceased spouse, and Erin uses instant messenger and e-mail; this technique highlights the differences among the three generational females yet also shows their common bond. Though somewhat disruptive and requiring reader adjustment, Jennifer Archer scores a bull’s-eye with this insightful relationship drama. | |||
