AND NOW? – Questions About Life at 40. Answers for Life

  • Low-rise or skinny jeans - why? About the path to one's own style and other insights from the over 40s.
  • How things can go on in the second half of life: cleverly, humorously and thoughtfully written.

Is it too late to start again? What makes life good? Motherhood – who defines what that means? Where is love? What about sex? Do I need therapy or just a walk? Am I too old for low-rise jeans? What is happening to my face? Is anyone else here tired, too? We used to think that life would be sorted by the age of forty. Instead this age raises entirely new questions. And at the same time it contains so many possibilities.

Marlene Sorensen writes about the things that concern women in the second half of their lives and how it can affect them: it’s clever, witty, contemplative. After reading her wonderful thoughts about beauty, friendship, daily life and our aspirations, maybe we still won’t have all the answers, but we still feel the great relief of knowing: I am not alone with this. And: it will be all right – especially without the low-rise jeans.
