Midlife, unflinching
Women looking straight at the middle of things.
Book 1 Tell Me Everything
Elizabeth Strout
READ IT Lucy Barton and Olive Kitteridge in one small Maine town, talking about love and the unrecorded lives. Strout at her wisest. Read it.
Book 2 All Fours
Miranda July
FOR SOME A woman checks into a motel twenty minutes from home and does not come back the same. Perimenopause as revolution. You will love it or flee it.
Book 3 The Husbands
Holly Gramazio
SKIP IT An attic that produces a new husband on demand. A clever premise stretched until it thins. The idea is better than the book.
Now tell me what you’re reading. Have you read any of these? Or something better? Bring it to the Reading Room.
