About this listen

 Ruby has always been the generous mediator among her friends, family and colleagues, which is why they have all turned up to celebrate her 50th birthday. But after a few too many glasses of champers, Ruby’s speech doesn’t exactly go to plan. Instead of delivering the witty and warm words her guests are expecting, Ruby takes her moment in the spotlight to reveal what she really thinks of every one of them. She also accuses her husband, Harry, of having an affair.

Saving the best till last, Ruby lambasts her octogenarian mother for a lifetime of playing her three daughters against each other. It’s blisteringly brutal. As the stunned gathering gawks at Ruby, the birthday girl concludes her bravura monologue with the throwaway comment that she has terminal cancer. She has cashed in her life savings and plans on taking her two sisters cruising into the sunset for a dose of Husband Replacement Therapy. Courageous? Or ruthlessly selfish?

But, do they even want to go with her now that she's cast herself off into social Siberia?©2020 Kathy Lette (P)2020 Penguin Random House Australia Family Life Fiction Genre Fiction Witty Funny Feel-Good Thought-Provoking

The colloquial Aussie humour was a bit trying although it did make me laugh at times. The story was a bit far fetched but the underlying message to women of the importance of finding yourself and living your best life was so valuable. Thanks Kathy

I nearly didn’t make it past the first half an hour due to the narration I kept having to fast forward until the beginning part was over….

It was quite crass in parts and sometimes quite funny as well. I persevered and found myself invested as I went along.

The story being about my sort of age bracket possibly helped. This book definitely not for everyone but overall I did enjoy it.

A bit full on…
