A Woman Of My Age by Nina Bawden

On a package tour abroad, a middle-aged woman begins to scrutinize the compromises and evasions that have sustained her marriage, measuring her faded ideals against the small betrayals and quiet accommodations of domestic life. As she observes and becomes entangled with fellow travelers, she confronts unsettling truths about desire, dependency, and the uneasy balance between freedom and security, forcing a reckoning with who she is and what she is willing to claim for herself.
