Life in Transition

LIFE IN TRANSITION is about place, change, and relationship. Gilden's beautifully written essays offer glimpses into locations as remote as Turkey and as familiar as a walk in a small town. And while travel is an ever present theme, the author doesn't hesitate to offer her ideas on topics as disparate as sexism and physics. Readers will find humor and a finely tuned appreciation for life "in all its permutations," even when it touches on loss. It's a book to read, and read again.
