29, BY ADENA HALPERN, SIMON & SCHUSTER, $29.99.
Seventy-five year old Ellie Jerome, a wealthy widow living in Philadelphia, isn’t overjoyed about getting older and has more in common with her 25-year-old grand-daughter, Lucy, than she does with her 55-year-old daughter. Has she wasted her life marrying young and playing safe?
She makes a birthday wish to be 29 again and, magically, does just that for one day, with Lucy as her at-first incredulous, then very willing best mate. Ellie cuts her hair, buys some super-sexy gear and even scores a date with the very cute Zachary. It’s an intriguing premise and, although firmly fun and frothy, Adena Halpern’s take on a septuagenarian grabbing the opportunities of Generation Y is joyfully eye-opening.
