'The best book about mothers and daughters I've read in decades, maybe ever . . . heartbreaking and hilarious, uplifting and profound' Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

As soon as she could, Betsy Lerner fled her suburban American home town for New York City. But when her mother Roz needed help after an operation, Betsy stepped in and found herself sitting in on her mother's weekly game of bridge, played with women who had been her friends for fifty years: the Bridge Ladies. As she falls under the spell of first the game and then the ladies themselves, Betsy also finds herself reaching a new accommodation with her mother.

Poignant, candid and often very, very funny, Lerner's memoir teaches us an important lesson: Facebook may connect us across the world, but social media can't deliver a pot roast and it won't dry your tears.

'Highly distinctive . . . a thoughtful, affectionate study' Ysenda Maxtone-Graham, Spectator

'Betsy Lerner's laughter-filled memoir of rediscovery and reconciliation is a delicious delight' Saga
