MixedThe Times UKSo much happens both physically and mentally between 40 and 50 that there are enough stories to fill a million books, but one that has touched a nerve with me and fellow midlife adventurers is Pamela Druckerman’s new work, There Are No Grown-Ups. It’s such an accurate depiction of what lies ahead if you are hurtling towards the big four-oh or living through it. However, having come out the other side, I can confirm that not only are you older and wiser, but also you get the added benefit of what I can only describe as an irreverent, ‘I don’t give a f***’ attitude. It’s most welcome, I can tell you. That and the permission to say, ‘We didn’t have them in the Nineties,’ every time someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer.
