Woman of a Certain Rage

Made me laugh and flinch in equal measure Sophie KinsellaA smart and funny novel about love, life and a second shot at freedom for rebellious women of a certain age.\r\n\r\nEliza is angry. Very angry, and very, very hot.\r\n\r\nLate for work and dodging traffic, shes still reeling from the latest row with husband Paddy. Twenty-something years ago, their eyes met over the class divide in oh-so-cool Britpop London, but while Paddy now seems content filling his downtime with canal boats and cricket, Eliza craves the freedom and excitement of her youth. Fifty sounds dangerously close to pensionable: her woke children want to cancel her, a male motorist has just called her a mad old bat and to cap it all her hormones are on the run. Who knew menopause was pubertys evil older sister?\r\n\r\nBut then a moment of heroism draws an unexpected admirer, and Eliza sets out to discover whether the second half of life can be a glass half full after all. She might suffer mental fog and night sweats - and have temporarily mislaid her waist - but this is her renaissance.\r\n\r\nWoman of a Certain Rage is a smart and funny novel for all women who wont be told its too late to shake things up.\r\n\r\nPraise for Woman of a Certain Rage:Georgie Hall has created a brand new, funny and brilliantly honest voice in this hugely relatable book.
