She eventually sells off her furniture, buys a jaunty little car, and finances a Communist cobbler who yearns to open a self-service shoe store. Before death overtakes her, the cheeky septuagenarian has lived two lives-one being the long years of servitude as daughter, wife and mother, the other made...
