Quilt on Fire : The Messy Magic of Friends, Sex & Love eAudiobook MP3

Brought to you by Penguin. There is something raw in the fault lines, something wilder and more mysterious.

There is beauty in the falling apart, a less polished, more honest version of expression. In her early twenties, Christie Watson was convinced she'd found her soulmate, in a glowing flash of light that turned out to be her tealights setting her quilt on fire.

Twenty years later, her bed is burning once again... as she wakes in a perimenopausal sweat, night after night. This is the story of her journey through mid-life: of the joy of letting go and the pain of the morning after, of the unstoppable power of female friendship and the struggle to raise teenagers as a single parent.

It lays bare the exhilaration, agony, wonder and fears of being a middle-aged woman with a wild heart, a changing body and a new set of challenges. And as her world takes on a different shape, there's something else she starts to feel: the hot flush of possibility. 'I adore Christie Watson. Quilt on Fire is full of her trademark candour, compassion and humour.

A wildly entertaining - and necessary book' ELIZABETH DAY© Christie Watson 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022
