PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Charlotte Bauer is a prize-winning journalist and Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. UK-born, she and her family moved to South Africa in the 1970s. She lives between Johannesburg and South-west France.
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 *
