How to Get Over Being Young a Rough Guide to Midlife

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.
