The Summer Without Men

by Siri Hustvedt - £8.99  Hodder & Stoughton (2011)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781444720259 | ISBN 10: 1444720252

After Mia Fredricksen's husband of thirty years asks for a pause - so he can indulge his infatuation with a young French colleague - she cracks up 'briefly', rages 'deeply', then decamps to her prairie childhood home.
 
There, gradually, she is drawn into the lives of those around her: her mother's circle of feisty widows; the young woman next door; and the diabolical teenage girls in her poetry class. By the end of the summer without men, Mia knows what's worth fighting for - and on whose terms.
 
Provocative, mordant, and fiercely intelligent, this is a gloriously vivacious tragi-comedy about women and girls, love and marriage, and the age-old war between the sexes.
