Anna Montague's debut novel is a thoughtful and affecting story about wayward love, regret and missed opportunity. Judging by the bright jacket and snappy title, a reader would be forgiven for thinking that "How Does That Make You Feel, Magda Eklund?" might be similar to other novels that it looks like - "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" or "The Misfortune of Marion Palm." Witty, slightly madcap books about middle-aged women in crisis.

If we’re lucky enough to reach old age, our lives will continue to surprise us—in ways that are as varied and utterly transformative as our youth. In speaking to friends and elders, I got to see the range of experiences that someone can have later in life, on their path to deeper self-discovery: uplifting, sad, adventurous, fraught, unexpected.
