I have always loved Anna Quindlen's writing - - some better than others. Maybe it was the fact that we were fellow new yorkers and I always read her column in the paper. If you've read her over the years, you've seen her progress in style, prose, and life. So its only fitting that she has now written a book about grand parenting. As others have said, it reads like she is sitting here talking with you. The advice and experiences are excellent and she is spot on. A great book for new grandparents but good also for those of us experienced. Her take on granparenting in general and how it has changed over the years due to advances in society, demographics, generations is spot on as well. A short read but profound, funny, and well worth your time.
