Blurb:
"Almost There" begins at that moment when O'Faolain's life began to change, and it both tells the story of a life in a subtle, radical, and above all, unforeseen renewal, and meditates on that story. It is on one level a tale of good fortune chasing out bad - of an accidental harvest of happiness. But it is also a provocative examination of one woman's experience of "the crucible of middle age" - a time of life that faces in two directions, forging the shape of the years to come, and clarifying and solidifying one's relationships to friends and lovers (past and present), family and self.

Heard so much about this book I´m really looking forward to reading it!
Edit, now that I´m finished:
I don´t even know why I enjoyed this read so much because none of the topics (middle age, difficult family relationships, etc) are of special interest to me, and there isn´t much of a story either, but still, I really liked the book and couldn´t wait to finish it!
I´ll put it on available for now, maybe to release it in the US later this year.
