For something that asks a little less of the reader while still giving plenty in return,try a dose(一剂) of Anne Tylere anyone who finds themselves in a midlife difficult situation.One such character is 53yearold Rebecca Davitch,the heroine of Back When We Were Grownups.Like you,she’s combined marriage and motherhood with a career but suddenly finds herself feeling lonely in her own home.Could it be,she wonders,that she’s “turned into the wrong person”?Don’t be fooled by the way this novel ambles along—as Rebecca revisits youthful ambitions and the college boyfriend she abandonedfore arriving at a place of graceful,joyous acceptance.
Along similar lines,I’m also going to recommend The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce.Its hero is 65 when he learns that a former colleague sick.On his way to post her a note,he decides instead to visit her— on foot,from his home in deepest Devon to England’s northernmost town,more than 600 miles away.You don’t manage that without focus!It’s a journey to a holy place that will take him 87 days to complete childhood,marriage and relationship with his son,and becomes an accidental media sensation (轰动).By the time he reaches his destination into your life.Combining the diary of a sad Tokyo teenager with the story of the middleaged novelist who finds it,washed ashore on a remote island off the coast of British Columbia,it’s a beautiful illustration of how our lives touch—and are touched by—others in ways we mightn’t even be aware of.This Man Booker Prize finalist has plenty to teach about Zen Buddhism,and unless you happen to live in one of its settings,it provides a bracing change of scene,too.
