Najlepšou pomstou je dobre si žiť. Kým však 47-ročná Rose Lloydová objaví čaro tohto španielskeho príslovia, preskáče si svoje. Chápavý a oddaný manžel, dve deti a post redaktorky v londýnskom týždenníku - Rose je šťastná a spokojná. Keď je presvedčená, že sa jej podarilo zlúčiť rodinný život s kariérou, v okamihu prichádza o všetko. Manžel Nathan jej oznámi, že ju opúšťa kvôli Minty - mladej žene, ktorá pracuje ako Rosina asistentka. Rose príde o prácu, opúšťa dom, milovanú záhradu a utápa sa v depresiách. Začne rozmýšľať nad osudovým rozhodnutím, ktoré urobila pred mnohými rokmi. To, čo pritom objaví, je skutočne sladká odveta... Vtipný, srdečný, no miestami aj smutný príbeh o láske sa dočkal televíznej adaptácie a získal si srdcia čitateliek nielen v zrelom veku.

Pravidlá, ktoré momentálne ovládajú môj život: Pravidlo č. 1: Spravodlivosť neexistuje. Pravidlo č. 2: Na rozdiel od manželových túžob druhá manželka nenosí v kabelke Kámasútru. Skôr sa v nej nájde aspirín. Pravidlo č. 3: Nikdy sa nesťažuj, najmä ak dôsledne uplatňuješ pravidlo číslo jeden. A to ja veru uplatňujem. Takýchto pravidiel sa drží Minty Lloydová v snahe prežiť svoj život ako Nathanova druhá manželka. Matka šesťročných dvojičiek, vylúčená zo stretnutí s Nathanovou nepriateľskou rodinou a ignorovaná jeho priateľmi, žije v tieni skvelej a úspešnej Rose – manželovej prvej ženy. „Problém je v tom,“ ako sama hovorí, „že všetko, čo robím, robím ako druhá v poradí...“ Voľné pokračovanie Pomsty ženy v zrelom veku je neodolateľným príbehom lásky, znovuzrodenia starého priateľstva a obnovenia pút, ktoré zmocnejú, hoci sa kedysi pretrhli.
