A hilarious, heartfelt memoir about one woman's midlife obsession
with Benedict Cumberbatch, and the liberating power of reclaiming
our passions as we age, whatever they may be. Tabitha Carvan was a
new mother, at home with two young children, when she fell for the
actor Benedict Cumberbatch. You know the guy: strange name, alien
face, made Sherlock so sexy that it became one of the most streamed
shows in the world? The force of her fixation took everyone -
especially Carvan herself - by surprise. But what she slowly
realised was that her preoccupation was not with Benedict
Cumberbatch at all. It was about finally feeling passionate about
something, anything, at a point in her life when she had lost touch
with her own identity. Turns out that a little bit of obsession can
go a long way ... This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch
explores what happens to women's desires after we leave
adolescence, and why the space in our lives for pure, unadulterated
joy is squeezed ever smaller as we age. Carvan shine a light onto
the hidden corners of fandom, from online communities to profound
real-world connections. She asks: what happens if we simply decide
to follow our interests - unabashedly, audaciously, shamelessly?
After all, there's true power in finding your 'thing' (even if that
thing happens to be a Marvel superhero) and loving it like your
life depends on it.
