Description
Middle age took Jane Shilling by surprise. She hadn’t seen it coming, and she certainly wasn’t ready for it. Living a flawed, bittersweet version of the idyll she dreamed of in her twenties, in a tumbledown urban cottage by the Thames, with a son, a cat and a horse in a livery fifty miles away, she wondered whether middle age was the beginning of the end. Or was there one last great adventure to be had? The Stranger in the Mirror is one woman’s attempt to understand what middle age means for her and whether, as a new generation of women turns fifty, a revolution is under way. It definitely won’t reverse the signs of ageing – but it will make you laugh, it will make you think and it could just make you look in the mirror in a slightly different way…

| About The Author | Jane Shilling writes on books for the Daily Telegraph, Sunday Telegraph and Daily Mail, and on television for the Evening Standard. Her first book was The Fox in the Cupboard, a critically acclaimed memoir about her mid-life love affair with fox-hunting. She lives in Greenwich with her son. |
Shilling's thoughts on love and ageing are so wise and so memorably expressed that they would grace a literary novel… Shilling's mild obsession with control and with the delicate, the exquisite and the theatrically miniature almost makes her into a latter day Jane Austen |
|
| Other text | I loved this book so much I gulped it down in just two sittings… Jane Shilling is a peerlessly elegant and evocative writer |
