About this listen

A wonderfully witty and heart-warmingly honest story about female friendship.

'Shirley Valentine meets Bridget Jones.' Cup Full of Books

Meet Helen. She worries the walls are closing in. With her children grown and her selfish husband away again, she's full of regrets at not taking the exciting paths she dreamed about in her youth. So when the chance of a last-minute holiday to Cyprus with her two best friends is offered, she grabs it.

Meet Caro. A successful career woman, she's not in Cyprus for the glorious sunshine and crystal-blue waters. But her secret feels so shameful, she can't bring herself to share it.

Meet Kay. Sandwiched between the needs of a grown-up son with learning difficulties, and elderly parents, all she wants to do is sleep in the sun, preferably all week.

As Caro's secret emerges, tensions between the women explode

Friendship was easy when they were young, how can it be so hard now?

A Midlife Holiday is the affirming first tale in The Midlife Trilogy. Funny, emotional and compassionate, Cary J Hansson shows us why middle-aged women are only just getting started!

Prepare to meet three new friends you'll feel you have known all your life.

What is the point?

The point of this book was a long time coming, and when it arrived it wasn’t really a big enough point to have written a whole book about. I felt the three main characters were cliched caracatures of 50 year old women and their lack of understanding of each other was just sad. Not the best book I’ve read this year.
