How does that make you feel, Magda Eklund? : a novel / by Montague, Anna,author.;
"For fans of Less comes a wry, moving novel about love, loss, and new beginnings found on an unlikely road trip. Most days, Magda is fine. She has her anxious therapy patients, who depend on her to cure their bad habits, and her longtime colleagues Boomer and Theo, whose playful bickering she mediates. She successfully avoids all discussion of her upcoming 70th birthday and has even brokered a tentative truce with her late best friend Sara's widower, Fred. Magda has her routines. She has other people's lives to fix. She's fine. But when Fred gifts her Sara's journal, she discovers plans for the road trip they always meant to take scribbled inside. And when Fred foists Sara's urn on Magda for the summer, there seems no choice but to go, lugging Sara along for the ride. Magda just wants closure, but the trip has the potential to shake up her careful routines, and the longing she locked away years ago. Because sometimes getting away from it all makes us confront the things we refuse to face. A hilarious and touching meditation on loss, aging, and the boundless power of female friendship, HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL, MAGDA EKLUND? shows how love endures past death, and how it's never too late to start your next journey"--
