HTML:<b>A warm, intimate novel that reminds us of the richness that can be found all throughout our lives—by the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Story of Arthur Truluv</i> and <i>Open House</i></b><br /> As ninety-two-year-old Florence "Flo" Greene nears the end of her life, she writes a letter to Ruthie, the woman who grew up next door to her, describing the items Flo is leaving Ruthie in her will. But as it goes on, telling surprising stories about those “little” things Flo will leave behind (What could possibly be the worth of a rubber band kept in a matchbox tied up in red ribbon?), an unforgettable portrait of the life she has lived emerges.<br /> The letter starts off as an autobiography in things<i>,</i> but it turns out to do much more than that: ultimately, it will transform Flo and those around her. In the time she has left, Flo decides to take herself up on tiny dares. She encourages Ruthie to reconsider her impending divorce by sharing a startling, long-buried secret about her own perfect-seeming marriage. Flo has never had a pedicure before now, and as long as she's going to a beauty parlor, she arranges to have a blue streak put in her hair, too. And as these adventures lead her to make new friends, Flo helps them, too, find the fulfillment that living a full life has led her to understand.<br /> Full of Elizabeth Berg's characteristic mix of warmth, humor, and poignancy, <i>Life: A Love Story</i> is a reminder that whatever your circumstances, as long as you're alive, you can keep on investing in life. The joy will inevitably follow. Literature. Fiction. Media Type: eBook. Importer Version: 2014-01-08.01 Import Date: 2026-02-18 20:00:02.
