Welcome to The Midlife Book Club! In our debut show, author Catherine Newman brings us to Cape Cod's salty, sandy shores to crack open her instant New York Times bestseller Sandwich. The book unspools over a weeklong family vacation as the main character, Rocky, navigates memories, menopause, and the push and pull of life sandwiched between her half-grown kids and fully aging parents. Evocative, hilarious, and tender, this coming-of-middle-age story bursts with insights into what it means to be a woman, why we keep secrets from our families, and how we can learn to love our people better. Host Katie Fogarty and Catherine talk about menopausal rage, the bittersweetness of midlife, anticipatory grief, and why getting to midlife is the right time to admit we *might* be wrong about things. Catherine also shares a look at her writing process and how she balances the yin and yang of creative and editorial writing.New episodes drop on the first of each month.Find our midlife book content 24/7 on social: @themidlifebookclubVisit our website: www.themidlifebookclub.com.Shop all books: The Midlife Book Club Shop.
