About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

After thirty years of messy mothering, Louisa’s daughters can finally look after themselves. Or so she thought…

Because suddenly, they’re back – apparently for good. Meg’s second-guessing her marriage. Jo’s career hangs in the balance. Amy has inexplicably quit university. None of them empty the dishwasher.

Louisa knows it’s time for some life lessons. She adores her girls, but if she’s ever going to get her (sex) life back, they’ll have to grow up – and go.

But maybe they’re not the only ones with lessons to learn… And Louisa might just discover that her daughters have something to teach her about being an adult too.

'Funny, tender & relatable at every level... quite simply, wonderful' (Jennie Godfrey)
What a GORGEOUS book! Such a charming, warm, optimistic read, exactly what I CRAVE. Just beautiful. An inspired premise, beautifully executed. (Marian Keyes)
'Riotously funny, achingly tender... a book to treat yourself to' (Julia Raeside)
'Truly fresh, wildly funny and completely charming... some of the most perceptive writing on motherhood I’ve ever read. I adored it' (Lauren Bravo)
Funny, moving, and wonderfully tender. All Grown Up is a joyful reminder that growing up never really ends. (Louise O'Neill)
An absolute delight - impossibly funny, astute, candid and moving - I think Louisa M Alcott would be blown away by Daisy Buchanan's wonderful reimagining of the March sisters. And what a treat to spend time with their brilliant, battle-wearing and achingly human mother. A standout novel. (Rosie Walsh)
Wonderful, complex, bruising, rewarding ... I snaffled it like cake on a rainy day
