40-year-old Coventry Dakin is forced to leave «her nerds» (husband and teenage children) on the run from the police. She will earn money and blissfully spend on herself, now there is as much time as she likes, adventures are more than enough, and in general she feels better than the last 20 years. Freer. Sue Townsend’s effervescent novel, as if made for a summer weekend, reminds you that it’s never too late to take responsibility for your own life. And if you are very angry with men, read it too, take your soul away.
