Maureen Lipman Livres

The hilarious new book from the magnificent Maureen Lipman, one of Britain's most recognisable comic talents

Body image, visitors, children, animals, shopping, careers, parties, holidays—and yes, grumpy old men themselves—are all very much on the list of what today's mature woman finds a source of concern. From the series producer and stand-up comic Judith Holder, this book incorporates material from the new series "Grumpy Old Women," which features a diverse, colorful, and very grumpy group of celebrities, including Janet Street Porter, Jenny Eclair, Ann Widdecombe, Germaine Greer, Kathryn Flett, and Jilly Cooper. Written with wit, style and sympathy, the book is sure to be a source of both amusement and comfort to women everywhere—grumpy, old, or otherwise.

In this collection, Maureen Lipman presents a variety of her adventures and views on topics as diverse as supermodels, sleeping policemen, cones, Cohens and critics. She also wards of awards, salutes Streisand and snuggles down with something with a hard spine.

A lightly handled story of sex, marriage and Catholicism maintains a gay innocence as Patience Gathorne-Galley wakens to her unused potentialities. Learning of her husband's mistress and very aware of ubiquitous Sin, she is very much surprised to discover that there is such a thing as love when she meets Philip who gives her her first lesson in sex. With the help of her worldly sister and her lawyer husband, Patience uses her faith's weapons to dissolve her marriage to Edward and then discovers she has been living in adultery, with Edward's first wife still alive. But there are other gambits, other obstacles before she is free to take her three little girls, marry Philip and present him with a new baby. Sort of silly if you look at it one way but for some giddy and amusing moments this has a certain spark
