Me And My Baby View The Eclipse (1997) - Plot & Excerpts

Pleasant as a cloudless summer day, the stories in this book are sweet, charming, and funny. Quite a few of them deal with women getting on with their lives after their menfolk have hightailed it for greener, younger pastures. "Intensive Care" was the most powerful story. A man reminisces as he waits for his wife to die. I'm fairly immune to emotional manipulation, but the last line of this one made me burst into tears. Smith has a gossipy "just between us girls" style. Reading this was like sitting quietly in the next room, eavesdropping on your mother's bridge club. You find out who wore what to church last Sunday, and a little bit about life as well.
