Overview

A deliciously funny and sage guide to midlife - an unscientific, flaws-and-all account of one woman's adventures and misadventures through the dark comedy of the wilderness years. Through her own experiences as a fifty-something woman, and those of her three sisters, her indomitable mum and rebellious auntie, Charlotte tackles the big questions every woman seeks answers to at this time of our lives - chiefly: How the hell am I going to get over being young in a world obsessed with youth? Written with warmth, wisdom and irreverence this guide to midlife is perfect for readers of Nora Ephron, Caitlin Moran and India Knight.

Reviews

This 'rough guide to midlife' chronicles the author's adventures and reflections as she navigates her way through the unspeakable years between 50 and 60, when women (let's be honest now) largely cease to matter. Bauer's family - her awesome mum, scandalous auntie and three sisters (one of whom is a very good friend of mine) have massive comic appeal in this book that manages to be gut-clenchingly funny, disturbingly insightful and warmly wise and uplifting at the same time. Thoroughly recommended for all women of a certain age. -- Sharon Bolton (bestselling author of THE SPLIT) * Sharon Bolton's 'Recommended Reads' Newsletter * A funny and overdue book about being a woman in your fifties in a world obsessed with twenty-something Instagram stars. From body changes to the difference in how society treats you, Bauer is trying to navigate challenges of not being young. -- Marie Moser, The Edinburgh Bookshop * The Bookseller *
