BOOK REVIEW: Nanaville by Anna Quindlen

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anna Quindlen’s latest memoir talks not only of the bliss of becoming a grandparent (something to which, as a new grandmother myself, I can fully attest), but also contains important advice for having the best relationship with the parents of your grandchildren—for example, learning that you are now a follower, not the leader. 

Nanaville is not only a good read for grandparents—it's also good for expectant and new parents to read and (hint, hint) give to their parents. Actually, Nanaville is an illuminating read for everyone, because, in the end, Quindlen is always simply and beautifully writing about life and best practices for being human. Kathye Fetsko Petrie, Broad Street Review, April 23, 2019
