But thirty minutes after setting off, she spontaneously exits the freeway, beds down in a nondescript motel - and embarks on the journey of a lifetime.</em></p><p>\"It's very funny, quite dirty, and deeply profound, with a fragile magic that comes from entering an uncensored inner world. There is the added thrill as well, of July suggesting that midlife, and menopause in particular, might be kind of . . . hot\" ― <em>Observer</em></p><p><br></p><p>\"Rage, grief, lust, sadness, selfishness; this stunning book and July's nameless heroine have it all. I cannot wait to read it all over again\" -- GILLIAN ANDERSON</p><p><br></p><p>\"A life-changer for me. I thought I was reading about middle age, then I thought I was reading about menopause, then motherhood, then sexuality, then monogamy, then marriage. And by the final page I realised I was reading about existence and death and I couldn't stop crying. Plus it's so funny and it's so horny. My favourite novel of this year\" -- DOLLY ALDERTON</p><h3><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</strong></h3><p>Miranda July is a filmmaker, artist, and writer.
