A Dream in Ten Years
About This Novel
If you like "Desperate Housewives" and "Deadly Women", you must not miss this book. Taking the modern city as the stage, it focuses on women's marriage, childcare, work and money. What difficulties will women face when they choose to give up work and return to family? Is it really possible to achieve the perfect balance of personal, family and career? For Amy, Jill, Roperta and Karen, four women living in the heart of New York City, the past decade can basically be summed up as "being a wife and being a mother." They were all well-educated and had already shown extraordinary talents as early as girls. After graduating from college, they worked as lawyers, bankers, film producers, and painters respectively, and made their own careers. However, after getting married, they all gave up their jobs in order to take care of their families. I thought it was just a temporary departure, but it turned out to be ten years. Now in their late 40s, their lives as young stay-at-home mothers busy and satisfying for their young children are gone. For them, the past ten years have been like a nap or a dream. To fill this loss, they long for a job that allows them to reinvent themselves. However, it is not easy to restart your career when you reach middle age...
