Product Information
"A very smart, soulful, compelling, elegantly written domestic novel about a wedged-together family, and what can go wrong when teenage children decide they have minds (and hormones) of their own." -- Nick Hornby "A spry and accomplished comedy of manners." --The New York Times Book Review "They've chosen the one thing that will make our family life impossible. It's genius really, when you think about it. It's the perfect sabotage." Julia Alden has fallen deeply, unexpectedly in love. American obstetrician James is everything she didn't know she wanted--if only her teenage daughter, Gwen, didn't hate him so much. Uniting two households is never easy, but when Gwen turns for comfort to James's seventeen-year-old son, Nathan, the consequences will test her mother's loyalty and threaten all their fragile new happiness. This is a moving and powerful novel about the modern family: about starting over; about love, guilt, and generosity; about building something beautiful amid the mess and complexity of what came before. It is a story about standing by the ones we love, even while they make mistakes. We would give anything to make our children happy. But how much should they ask?

Reviews
"In Francesca Segal's magnificent new novel The Awkward Age , romantic and parental love go head to head, stress-testing loyalties and bonds with heartbreaking consequences... a narrative that's never anything less than gripping. " -- The Independent "[Explores] themes of non-nuclear family life, the everyday fractures and renovations inherent to relationships of any kind, amid moments of pitch-perfect comic tension... Segal anticipates every care, concern and anxiety of an all-too-real cast: the complexities of parenthood and the differing methods of trying to prepare children for the world." -- The Financial Times "Like a modern-day Brady Bunch, Segal's latest novel is about the struggles of blended families...Switching between points of view, Segal paints a sympathetic and funny picture of what it means to find love after having children." -- PureWow "Segal's prose is clear and precise and the novel is so engrossing it's hard to put down." -- Kirkus (starred review) "Readers who enjoyed... the works of Meg Wolitzer and Matthew Norman will adore this frank and unfiltered glimpse inside one family's struggles and successes." -- Booklist (starred review) "Love and romance in all their difficult, volatile combinations have no limits in this multigenerational dissection of the eternal conundrum of life: what brings us together can tear us apart. Prize-winning author Segal offers no easy answers in this compassionate novel that surprises until the very end." -- Library Journal (starred review) "This observant comedy of manners about a contemporary blended family by the author of The Innocents is deepened by the author's compassion for her self-deluded characters . . . If adolescence is 'fraught with awkwardness,' Segal ably demonstrates that adulthood is as well." -- Publishers Weekly "Francesca Segal is precise and funny, and The Awkward Age is brimming with keen observations of the highest order--the clever, the sore, and the sublime." --Emma Straub, New York Times- bestselling author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers "By turns tender, brutal, mordantly funny, and heartbreaking, The Awkward Age is preternaturally knowing about fractured families, and young, middle-aged, and elder love. Every sentence is gorgeously, masterfully written. I loved it as I've loved no other recent novel. Francesca Segal is a major novelist."--Peter Nichols, nationally bestselling author of The Rocks " A beguiling story about the oceans between family members, generations, and continents and the journeys we make to reach each other on the other side." --Ramona Ausubel, author of Sons and Daughters of Ease and Plenty and No One is Here Except All of Us, "Francesca Segal is precise and funny, and The Awkward Age is brimming with keen observations of the highest order--the clever, the sore, and the sublime." --Emma Straub, New York Times- bestselling author of Modern Lovers and The Vacationers "By turns tender, brutal, mordantly funny, and heartbreaking, The Awkward Age is preternaturally knowing about fractured families, and young, middle-aged, and elder love.

[Segal] writes with engaging warmth." -- Entertainment Weekly "With understated wit, empathy and a cinematic eye of detail, Segal brings alive a host of characters so robust that you can easily imagine them onscreen . . .
