Witty and wry

This is a delightful novel about an angry, funny middle-aged woman facing challenges in her work as an architect and with the raising of her teenage son. Great fun to read plus it raised some provocative questions about how to age gracefully, the conclusion being that grace is the least of the heroine's worries! It contained many recognizable details and 'aha' moments. How does the author know what I've been thinking? Never mind how--she does.
