Description
Glorie is the story of a life recounted in old age, a gently humorous and bittersweet elegy for an independent spirit in decline. The daughter of immigrant parents from Portugal, Gloria Carcieri escapes the tedium of tenement life during the depression when she meets and marries her first true love. Pampered and protected by Jack during their fifty years of marriage, she survives the shock of his death by invoking his spirit for advice and solace in the suddenly confusing world in which she finds herself. With passion and humor she struggles with her well-meaning daughter and a colorful cast of relatives to hold onto her freedom, in this poignant tale of memory and the persistence of love.
