Welcome to Midlife Cabernet!
This title is SO much better than the original working title of Elderly Wino. If you’re a feisty, robust female tumbling down the far side of fifty, grab a glass of cabernet (oh hell, grab the whole bottle), wear your rhinestone-studded reading glasses, and enjoy some witty words of wisdom:
• Enjoy midlife love, sex, and passion (with another actual, living person)
• Turn your adult children’s old room into a wine bar so they can’t move back home
• Remain confident when your boobs sway like tube socks, you’re a case study for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and your aging parents forget your name
Yes, midlife is your reward for not dying young. So, drink it all in, Sisters! The best is yet to come.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ambrose faces the frights, frustrations, and fancies of aging in this refreshingly honest and laugh-out-loud funny survival guide for middle-aged women. Infusing her prose with sarcastic dark humor, the author offers homespun recommendations on dating and sex, raising adult children, and the physical effects of aging all with brazen cheer. From stressful divorces and facing Christmas alone to disastrous sexual misadventures nothing is sacred or off limits. The author's prose is lively and entertaining, with statements like "one of the many advantages of living in the last third of life is that I don't accept crap from anyone." Sure to be irritated and edified, women over 40 will find a lot to like here.
