Laura Corin Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) .... I have a book for you. More than a Woman, by Caitlin Moran. She was home educated, by the way. It's sweary and sexually explicit; so far I'm finding it really funny and reassuring. Here's a review https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2020-09-21/caitlin-moran-more-than-a-woman-profile Edited December 19, 2021 by Laura Corin 11 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a review https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/books/story/2020-09-21/caitlin-moran-more-than-a-woman-profile Thanks for the recommendation! I’m in a space where I need to be hearing relatable voices, where I can immerse myself in the experiences, wisdoms and mistakes from honest, strong women. I don’t have a real life person to share this space and I’m finding it rather lonely and overwhelming at times. I'll order it from my local bookshop for sure. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopmom Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Thank you! Just requested from library- the author is younger than me! Wow, I’m getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 She's younger than me too but it looks interesting (even if I didn't understand half of the review 😂 ). I ordered it from my library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found that it was much more profound and thought-provoking than I had expected. I want to get anyone who will be a woman or who might go out with a woman to read most of it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShepCarlin Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Thank you so much for recommending this book! I'm about halfway through and it really hit home for me. Reminds me I am not alone. Really enjoyed the bit about men and what are they thinking about. Oy. I could've have written that chapter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 A sweet follow up option. If your grumpy middle-aged self needs a lift, a podcast by Marian Keyes and Tara Flynn: 'Now You're asking'. It's an agony aunt podcast - not my usual fare - but they are so kind, so wise and have such beautiful voices. I'm now reading my first Marian Keyes novel, partly because I can hear her beautiful cadences in the narration: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09zgv36 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
