Life: A Love Story    by Elizabeth Berg Order:  USA  Can Random House, 2026 (2026) Hardcover, e-Book      Reviewed by Barbara Lingens Flo is dying. She has made her peace with that, but only if she has enough time to get this letter for Ruthie written. Ruthie is a former next-door neighbor child who grew up having Flo as an ever-present adult in her life, even when she couldn't stand her parents. Flo hopes to help her with a serious adult issue. The letter turns out to be Flo's take on her life through most of its ups and downs. It's a chatty conversation with frequent asides, at times quite amusing and at other times very serious, showing us what it was like in a small suburban U.S. town in the post-WWII period. Flo's gentle but spirited and warm personality shines throughout the story, and the pages she leaves behind are just the thing for you if you love hearing your grandparents' stories.
