From an “imaginatively twisted and fearless” writer (Los Angeles Times), a hilarious memoir of middle age.
In a voice that is wry, disarming, and totally candid, Sandra Tsing Loh tells the moving and laugh-out-loud tale of her roller coaster through "the change." This is not your grandmother's menopause story. Loh chronicles utterly relatable, everyday perils: raising preteen daughters, weathering hormonal changes, and the ups and downs of a career and a relationship. She writes also about an affair and the explosion of her marriage, while managing the legal and marital hijinks of her eighty-nine-year-old dad. The upbeat conclusion: it does get better.

From Booklist Performer-humorist Loh (A Year in Van Nuys, 2001) isn’t going crazy. She is heading straight into menopause, and her experiences and thoughts on the topic are hilarious, comforting, and enlightening. Here she speaks honestly about herself and others, sparing little about the perils of being a middle-aged woman, single or married, in the twenty-first century. As she points out, “By 2015 nearly one-half of American women will be menopausal.” Moreover, many of these same women will be also working, raising children, and taking care of their parents. Sound grim? Or, perhaps, sound familiar? Loh has cleared this treacherous, necessary path with her own wildly humorous story, a few facts here and there, and her funny and eye-opening summations of advice from the many change-of-life books she has plowed through. Loh made a mess of things—impulsively divorcing her husband for a lover, then kicking the lover out, then letting him back in—yet Loh also put everything back together in a different, blessedly workable form. Misery may never prove better company. --Eloise Kinney
Review “Reads like a weekend away with the best friend you ever had―blazingly vulnerable, scorchingly smart, and funny as hell.” (Cheryl Strayed)“[Reading this book] I laughed maniacally, nodded in empathy, hooted, teared up, and laughed some more.” (Mary Roach, author of Gulp)“Loh is such an engaging writer she manages to make this extremely difficult time hilarious.” (Judith Newman - New York Times Book Review)“Loh is that rare writer who is howlingly funny on the surface and subtly brilliant just beneath…Goes down like cheap wine―fast and furiously―yet at the end, instead of a hangover, you have a bold and beautiful new view of life.” (Cathi Hanauer, author of Gone and editor of The Bitch in the House)

Sandra Tsing Loh has not written a book to ease your mind. She is focused on telling the most entertaining story possible of her experiences, and exaggeration is a key element. At least I hope it is, because if not, well, just imagine the Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil on a bad day and you'll have an inkling of what she experienced in the years as she approached fifty.The Madwoman in the Volvo is not just about Loh's looming menopause -- it also touches on raising two girls approaching their teens, on Loh's failing marriage and aftermath, on caring for aging parents, on losing a parent, and on upper middle class suburban life in Southern California.It's been a few years since I last checked in with Loh. I remembered her as a funny and sarcastic writer. As a writer and entertainer, she's fearless -- she doesn't mind being the one in the crowd who's talking a little bit too loud or swearing in front of the kids. If she were in your social circle, she'd be the one who embarrasses the rest of you in a restaurant, but it's worth it because she's so funny and honest.In The Madwoman in the Volvo, she ratchets it up a few notches, at the risk of losing a few fans, possibly. It helps that she mentions in her acknowledgments that some of the characters she writes about are composites and although she does have a sister who is important in her life, the sister she writes about is a partially fictional one. I hope (and suspect) that the Sandra Tsing Loh she writes about is also partially fictional.The Madwoman in the Volvo is certainly no how-to guide, more of a how-not-to guide. It's not just for laughs, either. You may find yourself commiserating with Loh's experiences, even as you feel grateful that she doesn't live in your neighborhood.(Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for a review copy.)

For some time I thought I was losing my mind but now I can see that I'm not - that this sudden urge at 42 to upend my whole life is normal and that if I do upset the delicate balance of things - there is light and laughter on the other side.
