A GERAÇÃO DO MEIO

Em "A Geração do Meio", Margaret Drabble amplifica sua voz feminina em busca da identidade e da coerência psicológica, por meio de uma teia de diálogos e relações intertextuais.Um grupo de amigos: uma jornalista divorciada, o ex-amante a sua atual esposa, além de um antropólogo aventureiro, sentem de forma contundente a crise dos quarenta, uma curiosa mescla de liberdade e de prisão. Questionando carreiras vitoriosas, eles experimentam, para paradoxalmente, o gosto amargo da indecisão e da insegurança diante dos filhos adolescentes, do novo, e da incógnita que o futuro lhes reserva. Uma prova inteligente e que faz pensar.Kate Armstrong, a successful English journalist and mother of grown children, faces that moment when--the emotional life of her young womanhood at an end--she must enter her later years with intelligence, understanding, and strength. . .[About the Author]: Margaret Drabble was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire in 1939, and is the younger sister of A.
