Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. All Fours by Miranda July tells a journey of transformation as a 45-year-old woman takes on a new chapter of her life in an American motel.
What We Say: “Where to start describing this story? It’s got a complicated, often unlikable middle-aged protagonist contemplating her mortality (and menopause), a nuanced depiction of a marriage in decline, a passionate yet (technically) unconsummated affair, polyamory and, eh – the extensive redecoration of a motel room. It’s a midlife crisis novel like no other – subversive, unexpected and endlessly thought-provoking.” – Maria Padget, Book Club Director
What They Say: “Voyeuristic and exploratory... Miranda July compels us with her provocations” – Times Literary Supplement
