“[Quindlen] serves up generous portions of her wise, commonsensical, irresistibly quotable take on life. . . . What Nora Ephron does for body image and Anne Lamott for spiritual neuroses, Quindlen achieves on the home front.”—NPR  Includes an exclusive conversation between Meryl Streep and Anna Quindlen! In this irresistible memoir, Anna Quindlen writes about a woman’s life, from childhood memories to manic motherhood to middle age, using the events of her life to illuminate ours. Considering—and celebrating—everything from marriage, girlfriends, our mothers, parenting, faith, loss, to all the stuff in our closets, and more, Quindlen says for us here what we may wish we could have said ourselves. As she did in her beloved New York Times columns, and in A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Quindlen uses her past, present, and future to explore what matters most to women at different ages. Quindlen talks about   Marriage: “A safety net of small white lies can be the bedrock of a successful marriage. You wouldn’t believe how cheaply I can do a kitchen renovation.”   Girlfriends: “Ask any woman how she makes it through the day, and she may mention her calendar, her to-do lists, her babysitter. But if you push her on how she really makes it through her day, she will mention her girlfriends. ”   Our bodies: “I’ve finally recognized my body for what it is: a personality-delivery system, designed expressly to carry my character from place to place, now and in the years to come.”   Parenting: “Being a parent is not transactional. We do not get what we give. It is the ultimate pay-it-forward endeavor: We are good parents not so they will be loving enough to stay with us but so they will be strong enough to leave us.”   Candid, funny, and moving, Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake is filled with the sharp insights and revealing observations that have long confirmed Quindlen’s status as America’s laureate of real life.   “Classic Quindlen, at times witty, at times wise, and always of her time.”—The Miami Herald   “[A] pithy, get-real memoir.”—Booklist

I am a fan of Ann Quindlen, and have been reading her columns and books for years. I actually read this book when it was first published and then reread it for a recent book club discussion. Unlike most of her other works, I just couldn't relate to what she prattled on about either time I read it, though we are of the same generation and lived similar lives. Part of the reason is that I find it hard to relate to someone who makes megabucks as a writer and whose husband makes megabucks as a high-powered attorney. My bet is that she has the resources to handle the day-to-day crises most of us do not. So, why is she complaining? How many of us have townhouses in New York City and acres of land in the country? Also, I find it almost to be bragging when she relates her physical prowess. Wish I could afford personal trainers, Pilates classes, etc. My bet is I could do a handstand as well with that kind of fire power urging me on.All that said, she is still a good writer. Her works are compelling reads, even if you cannot relate to what she is writing about. But please, Ms. Quindlen, don't pretend to be one of us who are really in the trenches of life and have to muddle through without all the privileges your well-earned riches can afford.Unlike her novels, I find this book to be a yawn and not worthy of her talents. Could it be she was looking for a way to recycle her previous columns or unwritten essays?
