[quote=Anonymous]I just came across the term “Hen Lit,” and it seems to sum up a genre I’ve been enjoying (and seeking more of) these past few years: - contemporary fiction (rather than historical); - centering female main character(s) aged 45-60 (midlife); - lots of focus on the character(s)’ inner life/identity/sense of self, independent of romance/marriage/kids (though they’re often plot points, too); -sometimes funny/light or sometimes more serious/heavy - I’ve enjoyed both. Here are a few I’ve enjoyed. I’d love other recommendations: - The Second Ending, by Michelle Hoffman - Johanna Porter is Not Sorry, by Sara Read - Waywards, by Dana Spiotta - Calling Invisible Women, by Jeanne Ray - Sylvia’s Second Act, by Hillary Yablon (currently reading) [/quote]
