A satirical look at the most daring of adventures: the menopause.
Over the years life gets better and better, especially for women: no more school sports, no more terrible flirting and eventually – hallelujah! – the menopause, which puts an end to the annoying slog of monthly periods. To while away the time until this happy day, satirist Ella Carina Werner goes whisky tasting (with disastrous results), argues with her uncle about women’s football, dances drunkenly at third weddings, and finally embarks upon the most daring adventure of her life: a spa weekend with her own mother. The characters of these fast-paced stories chat, snog, drink, argue and reflect on the big questions in life – and Ella Carina Werner “reveals herself to be a feminist of consummate comic genius” (Hamburger Abendblatt).
