Life Span

內容簡介

內容簡介 LIFE SPAN, a memoir in flash form, is the first book of nonfiction from award-winning fiction writer Molly Giles. A life-long resident of the Bay Area, Giles has crossed and recrossed the Golden Gate Bridge many times since the first sunny day in 1945 when she rode from San Francisco to Sausalito in a moving van with her father who had just returned home from fighting in France. In LIFE SPAN, readers travel with her, as every transit across yields an insight, an expectation, a regret, or a challenge in the life of a woman writer whose steadfast love of writing fuels her way.
