Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

Quote: "I caught a glimpse of my face in the mirror as we glided. I looked as eroded as the groaning lift. What had happened to the fresh-faced belle from Boston, Mass.? The woman who stared back at me was at the dreaded age between forty-five and fifty, that no-man's land of sag, oncoming wrinkle, and stealthy approach of menopause. 'I hate this elevator, too,' I said grimly. Zoe grinned and pinched my cheek. 'Mom, even Gwyneth Paltrow would look like hell in that mirror.' I had to smile. That was such a Zoe-like remark."
