Resumen del Editor

The coming-of-middle-age story a whole generation of women have been waiting for... poised, witty, and emotionally resonant.

For 25 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Middle-aged or not, readers will find this book funny and sad, serious and light. Bottom line: Get REVENGE." [People (Page-turner of the Week)]

"Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman is not about revenge as much as it is about change. It is a nicely written piece of chick lit that ends up being thought-provoking in its restraint.... This is a novel that is about a three-dimensional woman, not a stereotype, and she's a character that grows on the reader while she grows into a new stage of her life." (Denver Post)

"An excellent story…strong, imaginative power…wonderful atmosphere". (Joanna Trollope)

Had to snail my way through.

Omg. So British. So boring. So proper. Sorry. I’m a Led Zeppelin gal. Zzzzz I was hoping for something a little more scandalous.

Engaging Plot And Pretty Good Narration

I enjoyed Buchan's book.

Some of the heroine's misfortunes are a little predictable, so I gave it a four star, instead of a five star rating.

But the plot keeps you going, if only to discover to just what the degree of "revenge" takes place.

Hard to start but great to finish!

It took me a while to get into it because of the British accent I think. Once I got a hang of it, I really enjoyed the story line. Good read.

Darn expectations

It was a good story, but not what I was hoping for. It was a bit gloomy the whole story through never really reaching the peak I was hoping for. But deducting my expectations of what I wanted the story to be, it was a good story of its own.
