“The most recent book that I just finished is called “Ghost Years,” and it’s mostly, again, about Kitty, about the mother, her circle of friends, and her mother. In many of them, Roy is mentioned in passing. She was the parent I was closest to and spent the most time with. She lived to be 91. In real life, my mother. She had a troubled life. She had five husbands. I supported her for the last 35 years of her life. It was really a difficult time. What I wound up doing, as the stories have gone on, is examine the lives of women in that period. The suppression, the lack of opportunities, the dependency on men.” —Barry Gifford in an interview in Fandor
