Underwhelmed.

A collection of essays by women in my age group, some better than others. Mostly reflections on the things that happen to each of us as we go from being babes to old hags. I can't even imagine a man reading this book.

Delightful exploration of the territory of invisibility. Some of these essays are bemused, some accepting, some glorifying. All of them ring true in some way or another. The standout for me was the final essay, 'Outport Shadows' by Meredith Hall, which talks about the author's mother's battle with MS as well as Hall's transition into middle-age.
