Description
_______________ 'Her cartoons are ingenuous to the point of naivety; the jokes are boiled hard, then reduced to their purest distillation in the silliest, simplest form' - Guardian 'Somehow I knew getting older was going to be crap. Didn't realise it would be so funny though' - Jo Brand 'Hilariously and uncomfortably familiar ... Not at all like my own life, you understand, obviously ... I'm very secure and happy, thank you' - Dawn French _______________ Have the inevitable signs of ageing taken you completely by surprise? Do Friends Reunited emails from primary school acquaintances precipitate an instant mid-life crisis? Has your computer introduced levels of frustration into your life that you never dreamed were possible? Does the sound of orchestrated easy-listening music while you're on hold for half an hour drive you to despair? Then this demented cartoon narrative may help slightly, although how I can't imagine. An absolute must for the middle-aged but immature woman and her bewildered partner - or anyone obsessed with looking on the internet at properties for sale in sunny countries.
