A Certain Age: A Novel

Description

How old is old? For the woman in Tama Janowitz's A Certain Age, the question isn't academic—it's personal. At forty-three, she's navigating the wreckage of a marriage and the quiet realization that her prime might have passed. Janowitz captures the specific, sharp ache of a woman who has been told her best years are behind her and decides, quite simply, that she doesn't believe it.\n\nThis isn't a story about finding oneself; it's about refusing to be defined by someone else's clock. Janowitz writes with a precision that makes the ordinary feel significant. You will laugh, you will be angry, and you will feel seen. If you've ever wondered what comes next after everything you thought was forever falls away, this book is for you.
