“I love the slogan “Grow or go!” This book will help many women shake off bad marriages.”

“A fascinating thesis on the need to reframe our approach to relationships – and expect more of them and of ourselves.”

“Entertaining and educational, personal and practical, Late Love is more than its title suggests —  those who love at any age can learn from it.”

“For all those who have made peace with loveless lives… there’s still hope. And this book shows you why and how.”

“This book is both poetic and practical – and useful for both those in long term relationships and those in new ones. It’s confronting for both, but is a reminder of the constant need to rethink, redefine and renew. I immediately gave it to my husband to read.”

“An aspirational clarion call to all those who yearn for fulfilling, stretching, mutually supportive relationships. Don’t settle for anything less! Here is a roadmap for moving from mediocre to mastery.”

“I wish Late Love had been available 20 years ago. Buoyant and charming, the narrative, examples, and research cited in this book attest to Avivah Wittenberg-Cox’s personal experience of late love and professional documentation of late love’s possibilities. Readers discover what late love looks like, why it is no intriguing, and how it can happen–for you, for me, for anyone who longs for a partner who is present, authentic, and willing to grow.”

“More and more people in the modern world are finding themselves – often unexpectedly – single in later life. The task that lies ahead of them is not only to come to terms with the loss of what they had imagined to be a commitment that would last until death. They also need to create for themselves a new future where the place of partnership is rethought. Avivah Wittenberg-Cox’s book tells her personal story of Late Love in a way that offers insight not only to others in the same situation but to anyone mindful of the challenges that such relationships bring. Thoughtful, thought-provoking and a significant new addition to the self-help canon.”

“A beautifully written, deeply insightful and generous book. Written from the heart, it is a treasure trove of stories, invaluable tools, hints and tips for anyone evaluating their love life. Whether you are contemplating leaving, have left, or wonder what or who next – this book will be your guide and friend, helping you shape your thinking, gain clarity and ultimately take steps towards your own late love life.”

“Sheer inspiration from a master of the possible. AWC’s newest book gives us all a shot of much-needed reality-based positivism. Love IS POSSIBLE, no matter what your age or situation. Baby boomers: With courage and an open heart, your best days can be in front of you she shows us, with her own story as well as so many others. I smiled all the time I read it…except when I cried. Poignant, positive, inspiring. A must read for every generation. In other words, “go for it!!”

“At last a book for women over 50 who still want… everything! Totally logical that the high priestess of gender balance, Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, writes the book that so clearly reflects the current zeitgeist. This book rings like a warning alarm: the expectations of women – of themselves, of their companies and of their couples isn’t lessening with age. It’s only gathering speed. Be prepared to work to a higher standard, driven by late vitality, curiosity and knowledge. This should be mandatory reading for companies or spouses who say “I didn’t know” when women walk out the door for better. With her usual intelligence, humour and courage, Avivah paints the portrait of our generation. Inspiring!”

“This book meets many modern women exactly where they find themselves – or long to be. If it is not for you, it is for a girlfriend, colleague or sister. Or a man who needs to understand what is going on. More than a self-help book, the author goes wider and deeper. She is a master at catching the pulse of the moment and knows what modern women (and gender roles) are all about. She continues to inform, enlighten and surprise us with her insight, clarity, intelligence and outstanding (delicious) writing.”
