20% of women leave work due to difficulties with the menopause, and more than 80% of our 4.4 million working women are now dealing with it. Women feel frustrated with the lack of support from their GP and are afraid to raise the subject at work. This book will help women to understand and cope better with it.

Still suffering from injuries he sustained in Afghanistan, E.G. Rawlings, the veteran war correspondent, is balancing writing his new book with the very different demands of two strong women, and those of his delightful grandson Felix. As if things weren't already complicated enough, Rawlings' life is turned upside down when Covid hits the UK.

January 2017. Rawlings, a noted war reporter forced to retire after a serious injury, arrives by boat at a vacant Thames mooring. It is owned by an old friend, Isobel Mallinson who allows him to use it to finish his war memoir. Little does the jaded reporter know that another event is about to profoundly affect his life, and also those around him.
