Midlife

[close] There comes a point in life when we want to read fiction, memoirs or self-help books that remind us we aren't travelling alone through the midlife crisis. That is what you will find here.

[close] Fiction Forgot About Women in Midlife—We Didn’t You’ve seen it—novels filled with twenty-something heroines chasing love, careers, and adventure. But what happens after 40? Fiction forgets us. Women in their prime—navigating careers, love, kids, and ambition—vanish from the page. Poof! Gone. But we’re not boring. We’re just getting to the good part. As a writer and fifty-something woman, I say: bull shirt! We middles are in the juiciest years of our lives. We're finally figuring out who we are and what we want (even if what we want is just five minutes of peace and quiet).⁠ ⁠ Introducing The Middle Book Club Your literary community celebrating women in their prime. We gather monthly to read and discuss novels that authentically capture the messy, magnificent reality of middle age. *Find out more at TheMiddleBookClub.com*
