Synopsis
"Women reach fifty and think they're on the verge of liberation and excitement, and their broken-down men just want to stay home and fart. Or in my case, go and live in a cabin in the Rockies and fart." Sally Howe plans to spend her husband-free year trying her hand at becoming a wildly successful author. But she's beset by distractions - the first being a queue of local lotharios, led by young Billy Bathgate, village postmaster with a tartan trouser habit and an obsession with drain rods. Warm, wise and funny, "Plotting for Beginners" offers a wry evaluation of long-haul marriages, plus a lesson on how to hit the menopause running and seize your freedom when the family has gone.
Bought this on impulse at Tesco's. It's not a Transita but is about a 50 year old woman!
Written in diary style so reminded me of Adrian Mole or Bridget Jones at times. I was intrigued by the fact it was written by two people, and found myself wondering how that worked.
