Product Information

Priase for The Slippery Year: 'The author's dry, self-depreciating wit about situations ... manage to seem both vividly unique and universal... By the end of the book I felt like I had just spent several hours knocking back drinks with an especially funny friend.' The New Yorker 'An incredibly honest and witty take on a year in [Melanie Gideon's] life as a 40-something mom/wife/writer. It made me laugh out loud and want to be her friend.' More 'With self-effacing humor, Ms. Gideon chronicles the mundanity and small epiphanies of everyday life.' The New York Times 'Gideon explores her pain, doubt, regret, and confusion as a wife and mother at midlife with great poise and insight and, ultimately, a gentle aura of hope.' Elle 'Melanie Gideon is a wonderful companion -- smart, rueful and painfully funny. Truly, the one thing wrong with this book is that it had to end.' Allison Pearson, Author of I Don't Know How She Does It
