'If I was removed from the hurly burly of these speeded up days when I was trying my best to slow down, I would be able to patiently and logically think it all through. To untangle this conundrum. I would be able to find the thing I had lost. Probably the most important thing I owned. My identity.' Part memoir, part expert advice and part personal stories from women aged 40 to 60, What's Wrong with Me? is a compelling, honest and reassuring guide to enjoying a magnificent midlife.

Here is a book to make the women of Gen X feel less alone as they embrace life, to make them laugh and see that they are not alone.
