From the back cover: A dangerous age is any age of reflection, balanced between a secure, happy past and the uncertain future. This is Rose Macauley's absorbing portrait of four generations of women in a single family who, together and separately, face the dangerous ages which describe the arc of a lifetime. With exuberant wit & touching sympathy, this perceptive novel draws out the conflict with the self which afflicts every individual, whatever their age.
