Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman
REVENGE OF THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN follows Rose's triumph of spirit over expectation and is a celebration of independence and self-fulfilment. Rose rejects the traditional vengeful route of the 'wronged' wife, preferring to explore, in the wake of her marriage collapse, the alternative life.
A New York Times bestseller.
Reviews
I loved it
A thoughtful, intelligent, funny, coming-of-middle-age story
Wise, melancholy, funny and sophisticated
Wise and wonderful. The 'revenge' in the title has little to do with getting back at people. Rather, Buchan celebrates the patience and wisdom that only age brings.
Bottom line: Get Revenge.
Buchan's writing has the elegant understatement and wry wit that Americans so cherish in the British.
Brilliant, deliciously sensual, exquisitely crafted [with] intelligent restraint. Bravo to Buchan's witty, wise, and wonderfully readable novel.
Funny and sad. It is the mark of a good writer to be able to find a new angle on such an everyday situation" <br />
A sophisticated and satisfying novel. Buchan opts for a more believable examination of one intelligent woman's coming-of-age.
What a terrific book! Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman -from that wry, powerful title to its final paragraph-is so beautifully executed that it becomes new, fresh, and interesting.
Here is proof that pain can serve as a catalyst for a glorious rebirth. What I like best about this novel is everything.
