The book is about ageing in a world that tells us older women no longer matter. It challenges the narrative that women in later life have become irrelevant. Instead, it honours older women with their power, strength, wisdom, and even rage.

Odile, a French woman living in Edinburgh, may be getting older, but she refuses to fade away or conform to what is expected of her. Like her friends, old and new, Odile is a testament that mature women acquire their strength through the struggles of life.

She is determined to remain relevant and intends to live her precious life to the full - and very much on her terms.
