THE MAKING OF HER by Susie Nott-Bower, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A novel which will speak to women of forty, fifty and upwards as it shows how even strong women can feel vulnerable and unwanted in a society which values youth over wisdom, beauty over experience. The two main characters, best friends since they were teenagers, are Clara, a workaholic, feminist TV producer and Jo, a sad, deserted wife. They come together in a cosmetic make-over programme which will test their beliefs - and their friendship - to the hilt. Pete Street, rock star recluse, blunders into this mesmerising, haunting and very contemporary tale about self-esteem, identity and transformation. | THE MAKING OF HER by Susie Nott-Bower, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
