Publisher's Summary

For twenty-five years, Rose Lloyd has juggled marriage, motherhood, and career with remarkable success. But the carefully managed existence to which Rose has become accustomed comes crashing down around her when her marriage and her career both fall apart. Can Rose start over? Not easily. But it's amazing what prolonged reflection, the slimming effect of a lost appetite, and a new slant on independence will do, especially when an old flame suddenly reappears.

Full of humor, clever insight, and a wonderful sense of the absurd, Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman is an irresistible and finely written novel 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.
