Title: The Summer Without Men
Description: Sceptre (UK) 2011 Paperback, 224pp. After Mia Fredricksen 's husband of thirty years asks for a pause â€oe so he can indulge his infatuation with a young French colleague â€oe she cracks up (briefly), rages (deeply), then decamps to her prairie childhood home. There, gradually, she is drawn into the lives of those around her: her mother 's circle of feisty widows; the young woman next do∨ and the diabolical teenage girls in her poetry class. By the end of the summer without men, Mia knows what 's worth fighting for â€oe and on whose terms. Provocative, mordant, and fiercely intelligent, this is a gloriously vivacious tragi-comedy about women and girls, love and marriage, and the age-old war between the sexes. (ISBN: 9781444720259). Very Good.
