Middlesteins

Edie and Richard have been married for over 30 years, living in the Chicago suburbs. Everyone who knew them - even their own children Robin and Benny - agreed that Edie was a tough woman to love, but no-one expected Richard to walk out on her, especially not in her condition. Edie is 59 years old, she weighs 300 pounds, and her doctors have told her she'll die if she doesn't stop eating. Written with sly humour, warmth and great insight, The MIDDLESTEINS is a novel about what it means to be part of a family.
