This exuberant memoir shifts between her present experience as a middle-aged mom in the grip of mysterious new hungers and herself as a teenager--when she last experienced life with such heightened sensitivity and longing. From her hilarious chapter titles (\"How to Have Sex with Your Husband of Seventeen Years\") to her subjects--from the boyfriend she dumped at fourteen the moment she learned how to give herself an orgasm, to the girls who ruled her elite private school (\"when I left Oberlin I thought I had done with them forever, but it turned out ...they also edited all the newspapers and magazines, and wrote all the books\"), to raising a teenage daughter herself--Dederer writes with an electrifying blend of wry wit and raw honesty. She exposes herself utterly, and in doing so captures something universal about the experience of being a woman, a daughter, a wife.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning | Claire Dederer | Hardcover | 9781101946503 | Used: Very Good | Memoir 1759179 (temp: 10)","offer_id":49196903858328,"sku":"1759179","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61bSZNuHEXL.jpg?v=1780632316","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/love-and-trouble-a-midlife-reckoning","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
