| Abstract |
Mary Tulevich Kuzo and Mary Petrunak Lemack—the plucky daughters of steel workers at Edgar Thomson and 75-year-old Hunkie widows who had never been further than the Monroeville Mall—take a seven-hour road trip to Philadelphia. The novel is plotless: Mrs. Lemack simply drives the Firebird; Mrs. Kuzo rides along dozing and replaying her family history in mostly sad vignettes, sometimes of brutal or bawdy men, sometimes of more comic scenes.
