This slim book was amusing to this 60 year old post-menopausal woman. I wonder if it’s universally chuckle inducing as it’s essentially about a 50 year old menopausal woman.
The title refers to the generation of people (women) taking care of their aging parents and coming-into-adulthood children. Also, actual sandwiches are made and consumed.
The setting is an annual rental cottage packed with said generations, memories, and regrets. This is a fun one for enneagram deciphering and a frank one for looking at marital partnering.
Tasty and testy. 4.5 stars.
I read Catherine Newman’s earlier work, We All Want Impossible Things, and could not review it because it I found it so depressing. This current work has some weighty issues as well AND comes through with laugh out loud funny bits (see first paragraph for qualifier).

I didn’t know you read this one! I found We All Want Impossible Things so sad but also really loved it (your copy!) so was interested in this. My book podcasts have had mixed reviews, and I wonder how much of it has to do with the age of the reader and how much they can relate.
