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?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There 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.

I recently recovered back my lost funds from a greedy and scam broker with the help of Mr Morris Gray a binary expert trader, I am very happy meeting him, he gave me some words of encouragement and told me not to worry, few weeks later I was very surprise of getting my lost fund in my account after losing all hope, he is really a blessing to this generation, and this is why I'm going to recommend him to everyone out there ready to recover back the money him/her must have lost in binary option trade. Contact him now. you can reach him out on whatsapp +1 (607) 698-0239

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.
