The Middle Ages

Rating:
Summary: Not bad
Review: Overall I liked this novel, and what it represents to women 'of a certain age' as the phrase goes. Second chances, trusting in yourself despite the odds and what experience has taught. Sometimes it ran a little sappy for my taste, though, especially in the e-mails between Jane and Jack. A quick but decent read.

Summary: The Middle Ages~
Review: The Middle Ages is a light, easy read about middle-aged Jane Larsen who has all but given up on love. Divorced from a man who cheated on her throughout their marriage, Jane isn't looking for a new love, but rather focusing her attention on her career and twin daughters. Caught up in the mundainess of her job designing chain banks at work, Jane dreams of her ideal job, designing homes for people.

Set in New York, Jane's love of architecture comes through in loving detail, as she notices the things about homes and buildings that only a true architect would. When she least expects it, Jane finds herself actually contemplating 2 different relationships. The question is, will Jane make the right choice, and will she let her fears subside in order to give love a chance?

The Middle Ages is a well written, easy read.

Summary: JENNIE FIELDS -- AN UNSUNG TALENT
Review: This is the third book I've read by this author and I'm happy to say that she has written another heartfelt read. She gets right to the bottom of what goes on in the minds of the overpopulated baby boomer generation so I'm guessing she's part of that census.

Fields takes us on another trip to Brooklyn, New York -- a Brooklyn so beautiful with renovated brownstones and beautiful gardens. So what if it's not always that way; either is life.

If you're looking for something charming that will give you a lift, then try The Middle Ages.

Review: This wonderful novel speaks to the life of baby boomer women like me. More than any other book I've read this year. Or any year. This book understands what it's like to be in your forties, female, and longing for more. The characters are real, the voice is witty and charming. (I want this woman as my friend.) And the story is uplifting and a real page-turner. I would recommend this book to women of any age. It's an absolute joy to read. I hope word of mouth lets more people know about this very special author!

Summary: pleasantly surprised
Review: While browsing at the library, I came across this book on a display cart. Thumbed through and tried it. I Really enjoyed it. The character was so likable. I love the way Jennie fields writes. And being "middle aged'' myself, I really related to many of the characters feelings. I am looking forward to trying her other novels.
