Beschreibung
Dynamic meditations on adulthood, mortality, and ageing as told by an unprepared Gen-Xer. WTF: Woman Turning F*fty is a collection of savagely personal ‘postcards’—or eclectic experiential essays—from a former journalist on the margins of middle age. Pondering timeless questions about life, maturity, and loss, Marga Ortigas dips into universal truths that not even hormonal changes can alter. Or can they? These rants—oops, we mean, writings—will hopefully help others on the cusp of, gulp, middle age (or other life transitions) feel less alone. And you, yes you who have read this far, surely you are also grappling with uncertainty—don’t we all? So if you’d like some company . . . or perhaps simply want a laugh, WTF are you waiting for? This is for you, too.

Über den Autor
Marga Ortigas has published several books with PRH SEA, including the critically acclaimed The House on Calle Sombra. She spent three decades travelling the world as a journalist, with a career spanning five continents and two of the largest international news networks. Along the way, she hit middle age and decided to step away from reporting the news before turning fifty. That shift in course led her back to her first love: writing. A British Council Chevening Scholar, Ortigas earned her MA in literature and criticism at the University of Greenwich in the UK.
