The period of menopause and andropause is almost ignored in literature, as if this period almost does not exist or that it is even immoral and shameful to talk about it. Young and vital with beautiful bodies, bursting with hormones and wonderful sexuality, and with a partner who instantly recognizes every emotion and fulfills and realizes it, surround us at every turn. They almost demand that in middle age we try our best to preserve and hide the first signs of aging, and this is exactly what Petja Rijavec's novel Our Waves is about.

Everything turns upside down overnight. Ajda realizes that she is getting old. In fact, she knows that she is not yet so old that she cannot enjoy life, but she does not know how to break out of the cocoon of boredom and monotony. She suggests a break to Maks. Only then does the beloved husband realize that he is also a bit too round, that he can no longer get off the couch, and that the move suggested by his wife is not such a bad idea. A modern and humorous novel about a middle-aged couple who, while living separately, experience situations that they could not have imagined even in their wildest dreams. Our Waves is simply a must-read right on the threshold of fifty.
