REVENGE OF THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN

Rose Lloyd has it all. She's the happily married mother of an adult son and daughter, she has a successful career, and she lives in a lovely London-area home where she's created a nearly perfect garden. So why has her husband run off with her beautiful assistant at the same time that she herself has been sacked? Jean Gilpin is Rose just as the listener wants her to be--warm, vulnerable, resilient, and angry. Gilpin tracks Rose's healing from forlorn, powerless wife to capable, gorgeous woman who falls madly in love with an old beau from her Oxford days. This is a genuine story of rebirth at middle age read by an intelligent and insightful narrator. B.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 03]
