Kelly Killoren Bensimon

Original, timely, mysterious and witty, A Dangerous Age is a poignant look into four socialites of a certain, middle-ish age living in New York. Told through the voice of Lucy, a is funny, lonely and sophisticated model turned journalist, who is trying to hold her marriage and sense of self together in what seems to be an impossible situation. Lucy's relationships with her quirky best friends is the basis of the plot, but there are twists, turns, and mysteries within the larger plot that weave the entire tapestry of the story together.
The supporting characters are detailed, rich and varied, and I walked away feeling as if I knew them, or wanted to have them as a neighbor or acquaintance myself.
I didn't want to put this one down, and when I did, I wondered what would happen next with these ladies, and couldn't wait to join their lives again. Brava to Bensimon for such a refreshing novel!
