Temas : CONTEMPORARY  NOVEL Resumen : Summary : Two women, far apart in age yet close in character, become locked in a riveting duel. An emergency brings a grandmother and granddaughter into dangerous proximity: they agree to share the same apartment. Both are ferociously independent, self-willed, strong-minded. Mutually fascinated, they try to exert their influence on each other. And life under the same roof becomes a subtle power game with rules so complicated that only the two players fully understand them.
