At 34, Faith has given up on love. Her cleavage is disappointing, her best friend is clinically depressed and her younger sister is getting breast implants as an engagement present. She used to think about falling in love, but that was a long time ago. Having heard one too many love-gone-wrong stories from the other side of her desk, Faith is worn thin by her work as a legal counsellor in a women's crisis centre. Then one night, an odd twist of fate brings her to a suburban veterinary clinic where she wrings out years of unshed tears. It is a night that will slowly change the way she sees herself and begin the unearthing of long-buried family secrets so she can forgive herself for something she doesn't remember, but that has shaped her into the woman she is today. Faith will finally understand what she has always needed to know: that before you can save others, you have to save yourself.

»Weiberabend« im Outback:Joanne Fedlers Roman für Frauen ab 50 ist die Fortsetzung der Kult-Bestseller »Weiberabend« und »Endlich wieder Weiberabend«.»Auf alles, was noch kommt« kann aber auch unabhängig gelesen werden.Mit Anfang 50 steckt Jo plötzlich mitten in einer veritablen Lebenskrise: Wer ist sie eigentlich, außer Ehefrau und Mutter erwachsener Kinder - und vor allem: Was will sie mit dem Rest ihres Lebens anfangen? Dazu kommt eine für Jo unerklärliche, kochend heiße Wut auf so ziemlich alles, die sogar Ehemann Frank dazu bringt, nur halb im Spaß die scharfen Messer wegzuräumen.Als eine Freundin Jo zu einem spirituellen Wochenende im australischen Outback einlädt, sagt sie zu, obwohl sie wenig Lust verspürt, Fremden etwas von sich preiszugeben. Erst eine gemeinsame Nacht am Lagerfeuer ändert schließlich alles: Die intimen Gespräche, unerwartete Enthüllungen und ein tröstliches Gefühl von Verbundenheit lassen Jo einen neuen Blick auf ihr Leben gewinnen und voller Hoffnung durchstarten.In ihrem Roman für Frauen ab 50 lässt Bestseller-Autorin Joanne Fedler am Lagerfeuer fünf ganz unterschiedliche Frauen zusammenkommen, um emotional, humorvoll und schonungslos offen Antworten auf Fragen zu suchen, die Frauen in den besten Jahren umtreiben.

You can do one night, Jo reminds herself as she follows five women into the Australian bush.Where are they going to sleep? And pee?Jo probably should have let her husband Frank know. Just in case. Because you never know what can happen in the wild.***While on her three-month marriage-and-motherhood sabbatical in the country, Jo bumps into an old friend Fiona who invites her on a 'sacred silent walk to mark her 57th birthday - the first since her husband Ben died.The last thing Jo wants is to share anything about herself - these are Fiona's friends, not hers. And what's she going to say? That her young adult children have made life choices she doesn't understand? That she has no idea who she is anymore? That everything is falling apart - even her 'happy marriage' to Frank?But the unexpected intrusion of a young backpacker into their secret location, unleashes powerful and conflicting emotions in each woman, provoking conversations and confidences that stray into the shadowlands of motherhood, the mysteries of midlife, the future of monogamy and mother Earth.Under the canopy of the open night sky, around a small, tended fire, the women share wise counsel, spill their secrets and offer up their stories, each exposing corners of truth the others need to hear.Unbecoming is a funny, heartbreaking and provocative homage to the midlife unravelling as women on the brink of elderhood speak honestly about their lives and wonder what the hell to do with vaginas that are not ready to be put out to pasture just yet.
