Synopsis

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of In Your Prime, written and read by India Knight.

Our mothers' fifty is not our fifty. We have no map, no blueprint, no nothing. There is no longer any sense of what is and isn't age appropriate, or even of whether age-appropriateness is still relevant. We're supposed to be grown up, but we seldom feel it.

With In Your Prime, India Knight provides answers to the modern-day dilemmas of getting older. Part manual, part memoir, part rallying cry for the mildly middle-aged, In Your Prime is the definitive, much-needed guide to ageing with confidence and panache.

I have always enjoyed India Knight's writing - especially her column in the Sunday Times but this was a little disappointing. I felt there was no feminism in it (quite the opposite) and not as witty as I have come to expect. There were some good moments but the book was rather inconsistent. Luckily,......more

Well, since reading this book I am older, but not particularly wiser or happier.......more

Goodreads review by Eleni on October 29, 2014

Some laugh-out-loud bits about getting older and some sound advice, too. Not so keen on all the product placement but, to be fair, she only plugs items she's tried. The tone is spot-on and it's great to read something that celebrates getting older rather than moans about it......more

Quite interesting in parts, and I skimmed over others.......more
