OverviewElizabeth Patton's crisp prose and dry humor invite the reader into a cross-section of a time in history and the women who journey through it...Full of textured mother/daughter relationships, the reader sees generations of women pass down dysfunction and disappointment, no matter how much a young woman achieves. Society limited women to kitchen and home in the 50s. Patton's characters are no exception. Not surprisingly their frustration wreaks itself in subtle ways on their own daughters. Patton's ladies, like characters in British literature who drink tea for all occasions, like to serve a beverage at any crisis be it an unwanted pregnancy, death, or a daughter's visit home with her lesbian lover. While many glasses of lemonade or sweet tea are swallowed, these women enjoy their Scotch and gin just as much.
