Years later, a fresh-start luxury holiday in Italy unravels when Joe's kids, Saul and Tabitha, gatecrash the trip. Jenny Eclair's acerbic humour and sharp dialogue turn a familiar premise — blended families, resentment, midlife muddles — into a genuinely funny novel about the messy reality of starting over, praised for skewering the myth of the \"happy family\" holiday.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eOlder and Wider\u003c\/em\u003e is Eclair's irreverent, alphabetically-structured guide to the menopause, tackling everything from hot flushes to empty nests with the same candour and comic timing that made her a household name. Rather than shying away from the awkward, she leans into it, reassuring readers that whatever they're going through, they are far from alone. Together, the two books showcase both Eclair's fiction and nonfiction voice: one a comic novel steeped in family chaos, the other a warm, funny companion for anyone navigating midlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo genres in one set — a comic novel and a candid memoir from the same brilliant author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback copies, ready to gift or add straight to your shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of women's fiction, comedy writing, and honest midlife memoirs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA great introduction to Jenny Eclair's distinctive comic voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for birthdays, book clubs, or Mother's Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJenny Eclair is a Sunday Times bestselling British author, actress and stand-up comedian, best known as the first woman to win the Perrier Comedy Award (in 1995) and for her long-running work in television and radio.
