I
read the short story with title “Ladies’ Lunch” written by Lore
Segal, an Austrian-American author. The story is about five women
growing older in New York city, then they have meet every other month
to tell their story.
They
are in 80’s, came from many places in the world; “their origins
in California, County Mayo, Tehran (Iran), Vienna (Austria), and the
Bronx” (Segal, 2017).
Actually,
the story is deeply human and a mirror of our future lives when
growing old. None of us can be liberated or exiled from aging and
weakening.
Kids
look at their parents no longer who they once were. The important
things that children still take care of their parents and show their
kinship.
The
old ladies tried to help each other, but they cannot due to their own
physical condition. They just listening when one of their friends
told that she got hip replacement at 82-year-old.
Unfortunately,
the recovery is not that much as surgeon cheery projection. The
friend need caregiver to take meal, shower, dress, and any other
simple things.
The
plot and pacing of story is brisk and tidy, have spirit of eternal
battle with liberty in “growing” physical and mental weakness.
Narrative is wonderful that revealing in dialog.
I
consider this story is good because will relate to ourselves in the
near future, thus I recommend to you as must read story.
