Summary

She’s earned her stripes. But the hive’s misbehaving . . .

Insomnia 

How do I have three extra adult males – and a small yappy dog – living in my house when I need to grow into a graceful and sexual midlife woman?

Rage 

Am furious.

Anxiety 

What’s going to happen to my career if I can’t get out of this rut? 

Feel invisible.

What is happening to me?

Fifty-year-old Agatha Doyle loves her empty nest – until hot flushes, a pair of killer heels and an overbearing man who won’t stop talking conspire to change her life. In one moment of madness, she unwittingly becomes a heroine to women everywhere.

But can she become the heroine of her own life?

Sometimes you just have to wing it.

Critic reviews

"Laugh-out-loud funny with a spikily endearing heroine who runs full tilt at the menopause with a baseball bat in her hands... Fast-paced and hilarious." (Cathy Kelly)

"Bridget Jones meets menopause...sharp, funny and real." (Cecelia Ahern)

"I loved this book. Hilarious, perceptive, empathetic. Readers will utterly identify with and adore the superbly drawn Agatha." (Patricia Scanlan)

I'm an Agatha fan!

This book had me both laughing out loud and crying - mostly at 4am while listening in bed while my husband snored ! A wonderfullywitty and honest account of women- their relationships as daughter, wife, mam, in laws, friend, colleague and many more in the context of menopause.

Agatha rules!

I loved this story - relatable funny and just brilliant.

Agatha mirrors my thoughts and feelings and I found myself feeling part of her gang.
