‘
When Maggie King turned sixty, she thought her life complete.
Now she’s sixty-one, and everything has gone horribly wrong.
Husband Greg has abruptly upped and left leaving Maggie bewildered. But there’s no time to question his departure because her ancient parents are all-consuming.
Once fondly referred to as the Golden Oldies, they’re now the BOBs – Bad-Tempered Old Buggers.
Sister Freya is never available to help, and Maggie is rapidly reaching the end of her tether.
She wants her life – and husband – back.
Instead, she’s trapped in what has been coined the Sandwich Generation – supporting both children and parents – except this particular sarnie is in danger of falling apart.
Maggie needs to learn that when life is like a club sandwich, it needs the best ingredients – and that includes lashings of love and some knee-trembling romance!
Review
Maggie is mid-stream of everyone else’s denial. Her husband has decided he’s not the marrying type. Her sister has let trauma make her selfish. Her children haven’t noticed “mom” is actually a person. But all of that is nothing compared to her aging parents who think they’re being eccentric rather than slowly losing independence. As Maggie’s mother’s dementia worsens, Maggie must finally realize that she has to be the voice of reason they all need. Her husband isn’t coming back. Her sister needs to talk to someone. Those children need to realize mom has needs, too, and her parents need advanced care. The path to those revelations is very, very relatable to anyone who feels stuck in the middle of too many life transitions.
Content rating: This book is a very safe read for anyone who might pick it up. If poor Maggie’s mom could remember to dress herself before receiving company, there wouldn’t be anything anywhere near questionable. So read without concern. This novel will pour you a nice cuppa to warm your insides.
