| Plot Summary of Sister Age |
|---|
"In many but not all of the stories in this 1984 collection, Fisher addresses aging and death. Some are clearly autobiographical -- a lovely escape with her young daughters to Morro Bay, where a crusty fisherman charms them all and gentle proposes marriage; another trip with her daughters on an Atlantic cruise ship, at the conclusion of which an elderly female passenger dies; a startling but gentle encounter with an itinerant rug seller which might be regarded as sexual assault but the narrator describes as a sort of lovemaking -- and others are portraits of other people, several of them ghosts."
David Loftus, Resident Scholar
