Love and Trouble: Love and Trouble: A Midlife Reckoning
Critic Reviews
Good
Based on 10 reviews on
"One of my favorite books of the last few years." --Cheryl Strayed
"Sentence for sentence, a more pleasure-yielding midlife memoir is hard to think of." --The Atlantic
At mid-life, Claire Dederer developed a sudden yearning for jailbreak. In this exuberant memoir, she reflects on two periods in her life uncannily similar in their emotional intensity: her present experience as a middle-aged mom in the grip of unruly and mysterious new hungers, and her recollections of herself as a teenager.

Critics’ reviews
Praise for this book
"Not only one of my favorite feminist books, but one of my favorite books of the last few years, period. . . . Exquisite. . . . So sharp and real and revelatory. . . . I loved it so, so much." --Cheryl Strayed
"Sentence for sentence, a more pleasure-yielding midlife memoir is hard to think of." --The Atlantic
"Dederer is not only a brilliant author, but an honest and brave one." --Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
"Dederer is an excellent writer who spins her prose with the casual grace and easy humor of a seasoned professional." --The New York Times Book Review
"Ferociously honest." --The Seattle Times
"This knowing and original memoir abounds with intelligence, wit, earned nostalgia, and an impressive degree of understanding about no less than being female and becoming a person." --Meg Wolitzer, author of The Interestings
"Affecting and . . . darkly amusing." --The Washington Post
"The most surprising and subversive memoir I've read in years." --Stephanie Danler, author of Sweetbitter
"What emerges, in the course of this vivid, hilarious, daring self-portrait of a book, is a person who has achieved clarity about her own contradictions, or at least has figured out how to use those contradictions as an excuse to bring lively writing into the world. . . . The memoir is practically a master class in narrative technique." --The Stranger
