Summary

Now, aged 46, with the menopause pestering her like a clanking door in a gale, she wasn't sure how to proceed.
Nina Polmont's life is changing.
The on-off ex is gone, her sister is back from New Zealand and her step-daughter has come home. At the same time her parents' marriage is falling apart, her niece has estranged herself and the music teacher who broke her heart thirty years ago suddenly wants to see her. Add hormones. Add night sweats. Add desire. And add the sinking feeling that she has made a catastrophic mess of her life. Is it ever too late to start again?
As past desires clash with new obligations and a midlife surge of rebellion and regret takes over, Nina tries to work out who has betrayed her more – her sister or her own heart.
Available since: 09/30/2026.

    Born on August 5, 1850, in the Château de Miromesnil in Normandy, Guy de Maupassant became one of the most celebrated masters of the short story in world literature. Raised in a bourgeois family and deeply marked by the landscapes of Normandy, he developed early a sharp sense of observation and a taste for realism. His mother, a cultivated and independent woman, encouraged his literary ambitions and introduced him to the renowned novelist Gustave Flaubert, who became his mentor and guided his early writing.    Maupassant first gained fame in 1880 with the publication of "Boule de Suif," included in the collective volume Les Soirées de Médan, alongside writers such as Émile Zola. The story was an immediate success and established him as a leading voice of the Naturalist movement. Over the next decade, he wrote more than 300 short stories, six novels, travel narratives, and numerous articles.    His most famous works include the novel Bel-Ami (1885), a sharp portrayal of ambition and corruption in Parisian society, and Une Vie (1883), which explores the disillusionments of a young woman trapped by social conventions. In his short stories—such as "The Necklace" and "The Horla"—Maupassant displayed remarkable psychological insight, irony, and a deep understanding of human desires, fears, and hypocrisies. His style is characterized by clarity, concision, and an often cruel lucidity about human nature.    Maupassant's life, however, was marked by illness and growing mental distress, partly due to syphilis contracted in his youth. In 1892, after a suicide attempt, he was committed to a private asylum in Passy, Paris, where he died on July 6, 1893, at the age of 42.
