When Pamela Druckerman turned forty, she began to notice that she had lost her ironic attitude towards her clothes, that she now chose restaurants without loud music, preferred the company of “her” people to “cool company,” that her parents stopped trying to influence her, and Parisian the waiters switched to addressing her with the slightly annoying “madame” instead of the dear “mademoiselle” to her heart... Pamela decided to explore this uncharted zone “between the young and the not-so-young” and, with her characteristic observation, wit, courage and sincerity, guides the reader through his experiences of the emotional and physical changes of midlife, showing how they affect relationships with others and oneself. Part candid memoir, part entertaining exploration of everyday life, There Are No Such Thing as Adults is a funny and wise book for all ages and all ages about finally being yourself.
