Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Bath Thoughts from Berkeley is a three-part novel that spans the years from World War I to the Millennium through the eyes of two sisters who come of age in Berkeley, California in the rich and turbulent '60s.

Fertile Soil (Part 1) chronicles the lives of Mattie and Josie from their childhood during World War I to the early '70s in Berkeley and London. The Wanderers (Part I) is the voice of Caitlin, who rides the rails throughout the States during the late '70s and '80s. Toward the Millennium (Part I) begins during the Gulf War when Mattie and Josie are in their fifties. The novel ends in the spring of 2000 as family members return to their growing-up place.…
