Aphrodite's breath / Susan Johnson.

What happens when you take your 85-year-old mother to live with you on a Greek island? In life, as in myth, women are the ones who are supposed to stay home like Penelope, weaving at their looms, rather than leaving home like Odysseus. Meet eighty-five-year-old Barbara and her sixty-two-year-old writer daughter Susan, who asked her mother -- on a whim -- if she wanted to accompany her to live on the Greek island of Kythera.
