What happens when your husband leaves for a younger woman? How do you kick-start your life when you’ve never had to work? How do you cope with the realisation that time is not on your side? Susan Shaw at 58 finds herself in exactly this position. She’s run the home, brought up her daughter and had a very busy life involved with charities and village-hall committees. What does she do now? Fellow committee members offer all kinds of advice: think selfishly for one, resurrect an old flame, get a job, get fit, get a toy-boy . . . Susan decides to take action, and this very funny and, at times, very tender play, follows Susan as she attempts a new start in life in the belief that ‘it’s never too late’, and finds herself presented with a most surprising choice to make.
