Spot the middle aged women in these stories :)<br /><br />Whilst I have read a few short story collections, this is not one of my usual genres. However I am totally intrigued by the idea behind this collection.<br /><br />I shall be spending some more time checking out the 'inside' of this book on Amazon, but I am already pretty certain I shall be adding this one to my own list.<br /><br />I am, in my opinion, 'middle-aged', however I shall be intrigued to discover just what the average age of these middle-aged women are, as perceived by the author!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing those great excerpts :)<br /><br />Yvonne.Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993930617464275848.post-44594764741148671082015-05-02T22:00:43.199-07:002015-05-02T22:00:43.199-07:00Bee allergy, not good.

At 75, I'm well beyond midlife. As I tell people, though, I'm every age I've ever been.
