5.0 out of 5 stars
A quirky little gem of a book,
By Kali "bengaligirl" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman (Paperback)
I'm not into women's books. They annoy me much in the same way that a veruca will annoy you. However the case of "Revenge of the Middle Aged Woman" I will make an exception to my rule, well who said rules weren't made to be bent whenever is necessary!
Add to this a cast of quirky characters like Rose's eccentric mother Ianthe, an ancient cat called Parsley, Richard, the man Poppy marries suddenly in Thailand, a suicidal ex-girlfriend of Sam's and Hal the man Rose might have taken up with if she hadn't chosen Nathan and you have a novel to make you laugh and cry in the same breath. Page by page we are treated to Rose's rebirth as a new woman, no longer in Nathan's shadow, no longer the wronged wife. With each trial and tribulation Rose rises to the fore and survives even the most bitter of blows. Like when she is forced to sell the marital home she finds herself able to exhale and move on to the next task at hand. And in the background Nathan is finding that life with the "other" woman isn't all it is cracked up to be and that Rose the wife that he had complained confined him, is now the one that is free. Funny, heart rending and totally absorbing, "Revenge of the Middle Aged Woman" is a book for those people who can honestly go with the old Spanish proverb, "Living well is the best revenge..."

A brilliant read. Really can identify with emotions,
By Diana Linden (Hampshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman (Paperback)
Elizabeth Buchan explores the devastation of a betrayal with huge sensitivity. You really identify with the characters and you live and breath them until the very end...which in itself is wonderful. Every woman has lived through this experience in some way whether as wife, girlfriend or mistress and no one can fail to be moved by it. It is unputdownable and when you finish it you really miss it and want to read it all over again.
