Book
Agatha Doyle is in denial. Her glorious empty nest has filled up with two adult sons and a widowed father busy renovating her childhood home for his new girlfriend. Worst of all, she can't seem to write a word of her overdue novel. Or confide in her husband, Luke, that she's plunged off a cliff into menopause. When she's talked over at a panel event, Agatha has had enough -- stepping forward she stands up for herself and unintentionally goes viral, becoming the poster girl for midlife women everywhere. But underneath the new life, what's happening in her old one -- and in particular, her marriage? Sharp, funny, forthright, this is a novel that will speak to women everywhere, about friendship, family and feeling invisible -- and about falling back in love with yourself at 50.
