Actor and humourist Annabelle Gurwitch returns with this New York Times bestseller, a wickedly funny book of essays about the indignities faced by femmes d'un certain ¡ge. Whether she is falling in lust at the Genius Bar, coping with her best friend's assisted suicide or navigating the extensive and treacherously expensive, anti-aging offerings at the beauty counter, Gurwitch confronts middle age with candour, wit and a healthy dose of self-deprecation. Scorchingly honest, surreally and riotously funny, this is the ultimate coming-of (middle) age story.
