Spreading the Word: Carleen Brice - Age Ain't Nothing but a Number!

Age Ain't Nothing but a Number: Black Women Explore Midlife by journalist and author Carleen Brice. Looking forward to reading this one.

Modest Carleen makes the writing life look simple, important and great fun. Check out her blog - Pajama Gardener - a published author blogs about writing and gardening, both of which can best be done in pajamas. This looks to be a great anthology and I can't wait to get stuck in.

This is from the inside flap - wish they'd call it something else if you know what I mean. Moving swiftly along:

Finally, a collection that celebrates, contemplates, even criticizes midlife . . . but from a black woman’s point of view. Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number is the first anthology of its kind. Featuring the writing of 40 of the finest black women writers, this anthology ranges over every aspect of black women’s lives—family, friendship, love, sex, beauty, health, spirituality, work, and many other topics. Maya Angelou, J. California Cooper, Pearl Cleage, Patricia Raybon, Elyse Singleton, April Sinclair, Rita Dove, Gloria Naylor, Jewelle Gomez, Nikki Giovanni, Tina McElroy Ansa, Terry McMillan(...and Alice Walker)—these are just a few of the many writers showcased here. Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number tells the real story of midlife. Spirited, candid, moving, funny, and immensely readable, this anthology should make every reader stand up and dance.

Here's what readers over at Amazon UK thought of Age Ain't Nothing but a Number by Carleen Brice.

And...here's what Amazon readers in the States had to say.
