About this ebook

In Salthill-on-Hudson, a half-hour train ride from Manhattan, everyone is rich, beautiful, and -- though they look much younger -- middle-aged. But when Adam Berendt, a charismatic, mysterious sculptor, dies suddenly in a brash act of heroism, shock waves rock the town. But who was Adam Berendt? Was he in fact a hero, or someone more flawed and human?

    There is always a double edged sword to finishing a book that is so enjoyable. A profound look into relationships both changing and fixed. Books that change your perspective of situations are a wonderful way of developing empathy.

    While I admit that I wasn't immediately able to get into the book in the beginning and that there were some parts I found a tad rambling, this is another masterfully-written novel by Joyce Carol Oates. It tells several stories of middle-aged individuals whose lives are linked by a recently deceased friend they barely truly knew yet have been profoundly touched by. The characters are all very well-realized, even the mysterious Adam Brendt, who I found myself nearly obsessing over too! Reading Oates, it's difficult not to feel a sense of impending doom, and yet Middle Age ends with the triumph after a struggle.
