あらすじ・解説

A candid and beautifully written wrinkles-and-all meditation on the middle years, with all their dilemmas and challenges....

In a society obsessed with living longer and looking younger, what does middle age nowadays mean? How should a 50-something be in a world ceaselessly redefining ageing, youth and experience?

The Middlepause offers hope and heart. Cutting through society's clamorous demands to work longer and stay young, it delivers a clear-eyed account of midlife's challenges. Spurred by her own brutal propulsion into menopause, Marina Benjamin weighs the losses, joys and opportunities of our middle years, taking inspiration from literature and philosophical example. She uncovers the secret misogynistic history of HRT and tells us why a dose of Jung is better than a trip to the gym. Attending to ageing parents, the shock of bereavement, parenting a teenager and her own health woes, she emerges into a new definition of herself as daughter, mother, citizen and woman.

Marina Benjamin suggests there's comfort and guidance in memory, milestones and margins and offers an inspired and expanded vision of how to be middle-aged happily and harmoniously, without sentiment or delusion, making The Middlepause a companion and a friend.

"Lucid and sophisticated.... A restrained but wonderful guide to the convulsive changes of 50 and over." ( The Guardian)
