Was I 20, 30 or 40: the midlife mystery
In her twenties, writer Valerie Eyckmans was confident that she would understand it later. Life, love and other inconveniences. But since she turned forty, she has more questions than ever. Should she retrain in bed? What should she do with that moustache? When are you too old for Pukkelpop? Is she having a midlife crisis? Are there pills for that? And above all: do the others understand, or are they just pretending? With a great sense of perspective and little shyness, Eyckmans tells about her life as a forty-something, which is certainly not without its problems. A recognizable and hilarious book for anyone who has ever had a run-in with Father Time. Valerie Eyckmans (1977) wrote columns and reports for numerous magazines for many years, and published three novels and five children's books. She also writes with the cutting edge in this new genre - the unashamed autophiography.
