The Golden Road by Dona Bakker

If there is one thing which characterizes The Golden Road: French Wine or Moonshine?, it is fun. If there is one thing that radiates from this novel, it is the joy of a great friendship... Bernice and Grandy are almost complete opposites: one reserved and the other outgoing, one old fashioned and the other hip, resilient and domineering, conventional and unconventional (respectively), while both are caring mothers in their own ways. Instead of becoming cliche, these characters come alive.
