Summary
In this addictive short story collection, 24 very different women reach a pivotal moment in their lives.
A widow is liberated by a new job but keeps it secret from her family. A date in suburbia has dramatic results. A seamstress takes revenge on an unsuspecting customer while in France, a mother is promised 'fantastic news' - and lets her imagination run away with her.
With each story, Jenny Eclair introduces a fascinating new character. And behind each woman lies a gripping tale - of betrayal, of love, of hope and defiance.
Funny, heartbreaking, inspiring - and packed with wicked one-liners - this wonderful collection shows Jenny Eclair's exceptional talent for observation at its very best. Based on Jenny Eclair's Radio 4 series, Little Lifetimes.

First Class.
Each tale a total delight from an author who truly understands the lives and emotions of women’of a certain age’ regardless of class, education or social standing.
Loved each and every beautifully read story

Every story is a joy.
Jenny is both a brilliant writer and narrator. I love all her books. This collection of stories is fab. Some read by other narrators but all superb with some lovely twists and some funny narrative. Loved them all.

Loved this audiobook
I adore Jenny Eclairs writing. Listened to this all in one go as I completed tasks at home. Some chapters appear in little lifetimes but I didn’t mind hearing them again.
Anything she writes will get my attention x

Funny reflections of life with a sharp jab of reality
Witty short stories that sharply and always affectionately reflect a woman’s life in middle age.

Loved this well crafted story.
All loose ends neatly tied together. Highly recommended and can't wait for Ms Eclair's 3rd book in August.

Brilliantly written!
These short stories are a fabulous observation of humanity. Brilliantly written in a way that entices you in and keeps you till the end which is presented as a carefully crafted punch line. Funny, poignant, real and very relatable.
Having the author and a fabulous actor read the book was icing on the cake.
