Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman
Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman: A Novel | Elizabeth Buchan
5 posts | 7 read | 6 to read
Get ready to cheer for Rose Lloyd, a woman of young middle-age who proves that starting over doesnt 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 freedomits 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, Buchans 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).

Kaye Hang in there Misty. Life doesn‘t just give you LEMONS 🍋, it gives you watermelons 🍉. We all have rough days, weeks, months....we go through valleys and stand on mountaintops. Each journey is a new learning experience which we then stick in our TOOLBOX of items we may need to pull out and use again. We don‘t learn from the GOOD DAYS, but from the bad ones. Stay strong. (edited) 6y
Kaye PS —- @AmyG . I‘m with you. We have almost 20 years on her. We, my friend, are over the hill and stumbling down the other side. The secret is, to HOLD ON,so we don‘t ROLL down the other side. I dont know about you, but I still have stuff I want to do and not ready to check out anytime soon. (edited) 6y

emilyhaldi I have used moisturizer since high school and my skin doesn‘t look nearly as flawless as yours so I guess we‘ll have to chalk this one up to genetics!!! You‘re #blessed!! 6y

Book was based on the old adage of happiness is the greatest revenge and I suppose it turns out that way. Just a shame the choices some make, adulting is hard and some make it look easier than others
