Beschreibung
LIFE SPAN, a memoir in flash form, is the first book of nonfiction from award-winning fiction writer Molly Giles, and a rare pleasure for her admirers-old and new. Giles distills her experiences of crossing the Golden Gate Bridge since that first sunny day in 1945 when she rode from San Francisco to Sausalito in a moving van with her father who had just returned home from fighting in World War II. Readers travel with her, as every transit yields an insight, an expectation, a regret, or a challenge in the life of a woman whose steadfast love of writing fuels her way. In this story of a woman with brains and desires, Giles details her journey as a writer, narrating the complexities of ambition, hope, betrayal, love, and wild joys. Smart, buoyant, and funny, not least at her own expense, LIFE SPAN is for everyone who loves good writing and cares about the perseverance of a woman who dares follow her heart's ambition.
