| Summary | "Dangerous Ages" by Rose Macaulay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of aging, ambition, and the complexities of family life through the experiences of its main character, Neville Bendish, as she navigates her 43rd birthday and reflects on the passage of time and personal achievements. The opening of the novel introduces Neville on the morning of her birthday, revealing her feelings of anxiety and dissatisfaction as she contemplates the years gone by without making significant accomplishments. As she interacts with her family—husband Rodney and their young adult children, Kay and Gerda—Neville grapples with envy and regret regarding their opportunities. The narrative provides insight into the dynamics of the Hilary family, particularly the contrasting outlooks on life between the generations, highlighting Neville’s inner struggles and the vibrant lives of her children. This sets the stage for an exploration of personal desires versus societal expectations, as Neville seeks to reclaim her aspirations amidst her family roles.
