About this listen

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, humor and warmth, Christina Ford looks back on four decades of dates, loves, marriages, friendships, affairs, divorces, parenting disasters and step-parenting 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.

As a girl who can relate to be chasing the ideal of Mr Darcy, I could see my younger self is Christina’s story.
