By Perri Klass and Sheila Solomon Klass
I heard Perri and Sheila speak at the North American Pym Society Annual Conference, held at Harvard Law School in March 2007. Both are mothers, both are daughters, both are knitters (the subject of their talk at the Pym meeting), and both are writers. Perri is also a pediatrician. And they are both really funny!
Two very gifted writers share their memories; the mom raised in Brooklyn during the Great Depression, and the daughter raised in a New Jersey suburb in the 1960s. They discuss common mom topics like child rearing, food, work - and they warmly remember husband/father Morton Klass. Trips to India and Trinidad add interest, but it is the humor and warmth that really shine forth. I don't know if everyone would find this book of interest, but as a daughter raised in a New Jersey suburb in the 1960s and with a mother raised during the depression, I so identified with this memoir.
