This was a bit of change of pace - the two main characters are women in their early 50s (and the dreaded topic of menopause is addressed) in a long term relationship. The depiction of the relationship was pretty realistic with an easy rapport between that you would expect after being together for 20 odd years and the fact that they are both still invested in their relationship and willing to stretch out of their comfort zones. Enjoyable read and nice to see the spark doesn't fizzle once you hit your 50s.
