{"product_id":"1168085","title":"The Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt","description":"After Mia Fredricksen 's husband of thirty years asks for a pause “ so he can indulge his infatuation with a young French colleague “ she cracks up (briefly), rages (deeply), then decamps to her prairie childhood home. There, gradually, she is drawn into the lives of those around her: her mother 's circle of feisty widows; the young woman next do∨ and the diabolical teenage girls in her poetry class. By the end of the summer without men, Mia knows what 's worth fighting for “ and on whose terms. Provocative, mordant, and fiercely intelligent, this is a gloriously vivacious tragi-comedy about women and girls, love and marriage, and the age-old war between the sexes.
