Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:For twenty-five years, Rose Lloyd has juggled marriage, motherhood, and career with remarkable success. It has been a life of family picnics, books and wine, a cherished house, and her own exquisitely designed garden-sunny and comfortable. But then the carefully managed life to which Rose has become accustomed comes crashing down around her when-over the course of a few days-her marriage and her career both fall apart. Can Rose, whose anguish is barely softened by the ministrations of friends and grown children with their own problems, ever start over? Not easily. But it's amazing what prolonged reflection, the slimming effect of a lost appetite, a new slant on independence (and a little Parisian lingerie) will do. Especially when an old flame suddenly reappears. Full of humor, clever insight, and a whimsical sense of the absurd, Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman is an irresistible and finely written fantasy for anyone who ever wondered what a certain age would look like from beyond the looking-glass-and who will find it ripe with promise that the best days are yet to come. Review:"Bottom line: Get Revenge." People (A "Pageturner of the Week") Review:"A gorgeously well-written tale: funny, sad, sophisticated" Independent Review:"An excellent story...strong, imaginative power...wonderful atmosphere" Joanna Trollope Review:"A wry and elegant tale about a woman of a certain age fighting back and winning unexpected victories." Kirkus Reviews Review:"She refreshes the parts other writers don?t know about" Mail on Sunday (UK) Synopsis:Full of humor, clever insight, and a whimsical sense of the absurd, Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman is an irresistible and finely-written fantasy for anyone who ever wondered what a certain age would look like from beyond the looking-glass — and who will find it ripe with promise that the best days are yet to come.
