A coming-of-middle-age memoir, about the search for love, friendship and the ever-elusive Mr Darcy. Prince Charming? Happily ever after? Childhood fairy tales are full of promises, but the reality - life - is a very different story. And that story has a hell of a lot to teach us. Written with honesty, humour and warmth, Christina Ford looks back on four decades of dates, loves, marriages, friendships, affairs, divorces, parenting disasters and stepparenting nightmares. For all those who have ever wondered if there is life after divorce, sex after 40, or who have had their heart broken and questioned if they will ever find love again, this is a reaffirming rallying call that mid-life is exactly that - the middle and not the end. AUTHOR: Christina Ford is a former TV and film executive who crossed continents to be with a man and you can guess how that turned out. She lives in London and documents her life in her blog A Broad in London. This is her first book.
