Deena Munger is middle-aged. She's housewife, mother, chief cook and bottle washer to her husband and three children. She's also invisible. This is a phenomenon which will be familiar to many middle-aged women: they exist, not as themselves, but only in relation to other people and specifically in respect of what they can do for others. They're assumed to have no feelings, no needs and to be constantly available.

If you're interested in dogs then you might also appreciate Tamar Geller's [[The Loved Dog]] which looks at the kindest way of training dogs. For another book about a woman facing changes in middle age we can recommend [[Stage by Stage]] by Jan Jones. If you're interested in stories about a dog then we don't think that you can do better than [[Red Dog]] by Louis de Bernieres.
