A deliciously funny and sage guide to midlife - an unscienti?c, ?aws-and-all account of one woman's adventures and misadventures through the dark comedy of the wilderness years.Turning ?fty is a milestone for any woman - but for Charlotte it triggered the realisation that 'Youth, after all, is a passing phase, and by the time most of us notice we have it, it has gone. Then there is the rest of our lives.' And so began a transformative journey through ten tumultuous years, steering through the choppy waters of health, identity and work, vanity, fashion and fury. Exploring the nature of her changing relationships with partners, children, parents, friends and - critically - with herself, she starts getting acquainted with the stranger in the mirror, with whom she is not yet on ?rst-name terms.With no subject off-limits - from her riotous family to her yo-yo relationship with food and lifestyle, drugs and fun drugs - we see our own concerns and experiences re?ected. Travel with Charlotte, sharing in the ups and downs along the road towards sixty - laugh, cry and ultimately feel buoyed that maybe it is possible to get over being young in a world obsessed with youth. By any means necessary.
