Emily, Alone by Stewart O'Nan, Lit Fic, 255 pages.
A wonderful book that is sweet without being maudlin or overly sentimental. Emily Maxwell is in her seventies, living alone since her husband died six years ago. Her best friend died a year or so ago, and now it is just Emily and her best remaining friend (and sister-in-law?) Arlene, driving carefully around town, adjusting to changes and quietly mourning what has passed.
A touching and well=written book.
