"Clarisse from my Friday book club gave this to me.It is translated from French and published in 1972, the year i graduated from college. I am again reminded that the more things change, the more they stay the same!"
"It was important for me to read this. I learned that when I retire, there will be lots of life to live. I also learned that it is important for me now to give up controls at school and to let others do stuff."
