The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus: A Novel of Marriage, Motherhood, and Mayhem

The Hunchback of Neiman Marcus: A Novel of Marriage, Motherhood, and Mayhem is by Sonya Sones. This wonderful fiction in verse novel by Sones is for adults, still written in her usual free verse style. It is the story of a woman turning 50, facing the empty nest as her daughter leaves for college, and dealing with the challenges of growing older. This book is hilarious and heart warming. Any woman nearing this time of life will adore this book - which does not mean younger women will not find Sones' wit and wisdom appealing.

Ratings: 11th grade - 10 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
