Summary
Fresh out of the hospital at age 55 following a breakdown brought on by her husband's departure for a young colleague, award-winning poet and Columbia professor Mia Fredricksen flees Brooklyn to spend the summer in her Minnesota hometown. There she is in the company of her mother and four other feisty old ladies, the young mother next door, and the seven hormone-addled pubescent girls enrolled in her poetry class at the local arts guild. Mia sorts out her agony as only a scorned woman with a Ph.D. in comparative literature can, by pouring it through a sieve of poets, philosophers, and critical theorists, in this adroit take on love, men and women, and girls and women
