Suggest me a novel about a woman in mid life, nothing too heavy, maybe she lives in a small town…
…or not. I am looking for something about a woman in mid life, maybe she’s single and lives in a small town with an interesting cast of characters. Nothing too heavy yet well written and smart. TIA!
Best series I’ve ever read. I love the characters and the protagonist is a strong, smart, middle aged archaeologist who is also funny.

Evelyn is the middle aged woman visiting Ninny who recounts stories from her youth about Idgie and Ruth. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ruth was middle aged by the end of the story being told in the past.
Not sure if this counts as “not heavy” but this book is so so so good!
