‘Bridget Jones meets menopause…sharp, funny and real’ Cecelia Ahern Lay on the couch for a brief nap. Woke up an hour later, the witch trials book I’m reading stuck to one side of my face. Pretending not to be menopausal is exhausting.

When fifty-year-old Agatha Doyle starts keeping a diary, it records only the ways she doesn’t know who she is any more. Her glorious empty nest is full of people. And her head is full of brain fog. All it takes to tip her over the edge is a pair of red velvet heels and a man who won’t stop talking.

Standing up for herself, Agatha unwittingly becomes a heroine for midlife women everywhere.

But with a distant husband, and an even more distant sex life, can she also become the heroine of her own life? Readers LOVE Queen Bee! ‘I haven’t laughed this hard in years!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Agatha became my hero’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘A complete hoot’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Agatha Doyle is the poster girl for a new generation’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘I loved this book. Hilarious, perceptive, empathetic. Readers will utterly identify with and adore the superbly drawn Agatha’ PATRICIA SCANLAN

’Witty, poignant and a complete page turner’ SINEAD MORIARTY

’Agatha is a marvellous creation – that voice is so compelling, so snappy, so real – and I’ll miss her ROISIN MEANEY

’What a book! Timely, laden with humour . . . it has everything – female friendship and empowerment, family relationships with all their fun and tragedy’ FIONNUALA KEARNEY

‘Funny, searingly honest, at times tender and poignant. World, meet Agatha, you’re going to love her’ CARMEL HARRINGTON

‘So funny and smart and warm … honestly all women will love this book’ ANNA McPARTLIN
