This great read manages to be both funny and emotionally charged' Fabulous, The Sun
'Relatable, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny' Platinum Four women who have lost themselves or who want to be lost, spend a life-changing weekend at a wild retreat on Bodmin Moor. Talking about feelings is Emma's idea of hell. Annoyingly, she's bottling up a lot of them. According to her husband, she's been in a bad mood for the last five years. But Emma needs to open up to help her struggling daughter. The family therapist suggests a wellness retreat, so she's picked the maddest one she could find. Which is how she has found herself on Bodmin Moor with two strangers and a retreat leader called Clover urging her to get in touch with her `dark feminine divine'. But Clover doesn't know just how much Emma is hurting, and the more she pushes, the more Emma resists. Can she finally accept the anger she feels, and what will happen when she finally lets it all out? Brilliant funny and very relevant, Middle Rage is a rallying cry for women everywhere. ******** FANTASTIC reviews for Middle Rage 'A rallying cry for women everywhere, blending humour with real depth.'
