Suzanne Blume has survived two marriages, sent two children through college and her teaching duties at a Boston university allow her just enough time to take on important legal cases and spend time with her closest friend. Life in her forties has also yielded some unexpected pleasures - she is enjoying her first sexual relationship in over ten years.
But her neat, buttoned-up life starts to unravel when her daughter Elena returns home angry and unemployed. Is it too late for mother and daughter to rebuild their fragmented relationship? And what of Suzanne's own mother, Beverly? Having devoted her life to men and politics with equal passion, she is now coping with the onslaught of age and illness. A fiercely independent woman, rendered virtually helpless by a stroke, she is also forced to share Suzanne's home and rely on the conventional daughter she has never had much time for . . .
'Three Women' is told from the viewpoint of three generations of one unforgettable family as they learn to accept love, life and each other.
