Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman - Paperback

by Elizabeth Buchan (Author)

A New York Times bestseller!

"Wise and wonderful. . . Buchan celebrates the patience and wisdom that only age can bring." --USA Today

"Bottom line: Get Revenge." --People

Get ready to cheer for Rose Lloyd, a woman of young middle-age who proves that starting over doesn't have an age limit. After twenty-five years spent juggling husband, career, and kids with admirable success, Rose suddenly finds both her marriage and her career in unexpected ruin.

Forced to begin a new life, she is at first terrified, then energized, by her newfound freedom--it's amazing what prolonged reflection, a little weight loss, a new slant on independence, and some Parisian lingerie will do for the psyche!

Witty, insightful, and emotionally resonant, Buchan's novel will strike a chord with anyone who has ever wondered what Middle Age would look like from the other side of the looking glass (answer: much better than you could ever expect).
