Description
This powerful collection brings together three emotionally incisive stories about women confronting upheaval, disappointment, and uncertainty at midlife. Through fractured marriages, shifting family dynamics, and the erosion of familiar identities, the characters are forced to question the roles they have inhabited and the choices that shaped their lives. Exploring aging, love, loneliness, dependence, and the search for autonomy, the book offers a penetrating portrait of women navigating personal and social expectations. Its intimate psychological detail and unsparing feminist perspective make it a compelling study of identity, freedom, and resilience.
