"A thoughtful, intelligent, funny, coming-of-middle-age story." - Boston Globe

"Wise and wonderful. The "revenge" in the title has little to do with getting back at people. Rather, Buchan celebrates the patience and wisdom that only age brings." - USA Today

"Revenge may be sweet, but Revenge is not, thank goodness." - Wall Street Journal

"Middle-aged or not, readers will find this book funny and sad, serious and light. Bottom line: Get Revenge ." - People (pageturner of the week)

"Buchan's writing has the elegant understatement and wry wit that Americans so cherish in the British." - Chicago Tribune

"Warm and insightful." - Dallas Morning News

"In the end, Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman is not about revenge as much as it is about change. Thought-provoking in its restraint; this is a novel that is about a three-dimensional woman, not a stereotype, and she's a character that grows on the reader while she grows into a new stage of her life." - Denver Post

"A sophisticated and satisfying novel. Buchan opts for a more believable examination of one intelligent woman's coming-of-age." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

" Elizabeth Buchan takes a familiar story and reinvigorates it with honesty, humor, warmth, and wisdom. What a satisfying book. I couldn't put it down." - Patricia Gaffney

"Brilliant, deliciously sensual, exquisitely crafted [with] intelligent restraint. Bravo to Buchan's witty, wise, and wonderfully readable novel." - Wendy Holden

"What a terrific book! Revenge of the Middle-Aged Woman -from that wry, powerful title to its final paragraph-is so beautifully executed that it becomes new, fresh, and interesting." - Fay Weldon

"Wise, melancholy, funny and sophisticated." - The Times (London)

"What a good writer Buchan is." - Daily Telegraph (London)

"Here is proof that pain can serve as a catalyst for a glorious rebirth. What I like best about this novel is everything." - Elizabeth Berg


CBS's made-for-TV drama was screened in the U.S. on 26th September 2004.
