Mum's the Word by Lorraine Turnbull

Whoever said life began at 40 was dead right.

A riotous romantic comedy about never-ending motherhood, second chances and growing old disgracefully.

What do you do when:

Mr Could Do Worse dumps you on the very night you think he's going to propose?

Your twenty-something son turns up on your doorstep, with a broken heart and dirty washing in tow?

You find out you're going to be a granny - at 45?

Your son's maybe ex-girlfriend's father starts making wickedly naughty suggestions?

Your ex's new bit of stuff wants to become your new best friend?

Your 70-year-old father is dating someone young enough to be your sister?

You make the same mistakes you made in your twenties two whole decades later?

You can't get the one person you want out of your head?

You grab the vodka and wonder if you're too old for all this crap.

Turnbull, Lorraine: - Lorraine Turnbull was born in Glasgow where she lived until 2015 when she and her family moved to a run-down bungalow and smallholding with an Agricultural Occupancy Condition on it in Cornwall. She retrained as a horticultural tutor and also worked as a Skills Co-ordinator for The Rural Business School. To turn her failing smallholding around she began commercial cider making in 2011 and until recently ran a profitable small craft cider business. In 2014 she was recognised for her contribution to sustainable living by winning the Cornwall Sustainability Awards Best Individual category. She has previously written occasional articles for Country Smallholding and Smallholder magazines and after successfully removing the Agricultural Occupancy Condition on her home she relocated to a smallholding in France. She is the author of The Sustainable Smallholders Handbook (2019) and How to Live the Good Life in France (2020). She is currently completing her third book: a Cornish smallholding memoir.
