Book Synopsis The Grade Cricketer by : Dave Edwards
Download or read book The Grade Cricketer written by Dave Edwards and published by Melbourne Books. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of The Grade Cricketer. Described as the most original voice in cricket, The Grade Cricketer represents the fading hopes and dreams of every ageing amateur sportsman. In this tell-all 'autobiography', The Grade Cricketer describes his cricketing career with unflinching honesty and plenty of humour, in turn providing insights into the hyper-masculine cricket 'dressing room'. This one-time junior prodigy is now experiencing the lean, increasingly existential years of adult cricket. Here, he learns quickly that one will need more than just runs and wickets to make it in the alpha-dominated grade cricket jungle, where blokes like Nuggsy, Bruiser, Deeks and Robbo reign supreme. Through it all, The Grade Cricketer lays bare his deepest insecurities - his relationship with Dad, his fleeting romances outside the cricket club - and, in turn, we witness a gentle maturation; a slow realisation that perhaps, just maybe, there is more to life than hitting 50 not out in third grade and enjoying a few celebratory beers afterwards. Or is there? * * * The Grade Cricketer book is based upon the popular Twitter account, @gradecricketer, which has received critical acclaim for its frighteningly honest portrayal of amateur cricket. Now, the time has finally come for this middling amateur sportsman to tell his story in full. 'The Grade Cricketer is the finest tribute to a sport since Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, and the best cricket book in yonks. It's belly-laughing funny but it's also a hymn to the grand and complex game delivered with a narrative pace and ability I'm afraid most Test players don't have. For anyone who ever dreamed of excelling at a sport but never quite made it but still gave it your life, this is the story. A great read!' - Tom Keneally AO.

Book Synopsis The Test of My Life by : Yuvraj Singh
Download or read book The Test of My Life written by Yuvraj Singh and published by Random House India. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘That day I cried like a baby not because I feared what cancer would do but because I didn’t want the disease. I wanted my life to be normal, which it could not be.’ For the first time Yuvraj Singh tells the real story behind the 2011 World Cup when on-the-field triumph hid his increasingly puzzling health problems and worrying illnesses. In his debut book The test of my life, he reveals how—plagued with insomnia, coughing fits that left him vomiting blood, and an inability to eat—he made a deal with God. On the night before the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup final, Yuvraj prayed for the World Cup in return for anything God wanted. In this book, he lays bare his fears, doubts, and the lows he experienced during chemotherapy—when he lost his energy, his appetite, and his hair—and his battle to find the will to survive. Poignant, personal, and moving—The test of my life—is about cancer and cricket; but more importantly, it is about the human will to fight adversity and triumph despite all odds.

Book Synopsis Machine Guns and Cricket Bats by : Jeff Grzinic
Download or read book Machine Guns and Cricket Bats written by Jeff Grzinic and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine Guns and Cricket Bats is a behind-the-scenes look into the sometimes dangerous and always entertaining world of international cricket. If you've ever wondered what destiny does when it's not arranging wars, scandals and marriages, ask author Jeff Grzinic. As a toddler in Western Australia, Jeff was involved in a serious car accident, and spent decades recovering from his injuries before becoming an international cricketer - for a country that didn't even exist when he was born! Jeff's story of the battles of attrition in life from behind the crease makes an enchanting and intriguing read for fans of life - not just cricket. Competing in a world of sub-elite international cricket, the rewards are somewhat esoteric and the experiences closer to the bone. His humour leads readers through the underbelly of European cricket, including the cheap motels, spectacular sights, memorable food, and most importantly, the people.
Book Synopsis FITNESS PIONEER - Volume TWO by : Rahul Mookerjee
Download or read book FITNESS PIONEER - Volume TWO written by Rahul Mookerjee and published by 0 Excuses Fitness. This book was released on 2021-01-03 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Reader, Well, well, well. I finally did it! While wearing my favorite red jacket, and on a COLD, blustery wintry day right smack in the middle of “covid shovid” season as it were. It’s 2021 at the time of writing this. We had tons of people tell us to “forget” 2020 and this was being said even WHEN 2020 was going on. As I heard these people prattle on, I RAILED against the nonsense of a) succumbing to panic and b) thinking it will just go away (the panic, not the disease itself). Now, granted the plague that China knowingly and willingly spread everywhere spreads in a manner not seen before. And it’s more lethal than the flu for those that do get it. But it usually only afflicts those with underlying diseases or in otherwise poor health, and even amongst those people, it is only terminal for ONE out of 10. You have probably got more chances of being run over by a school bus or something the minute you step out than get this damned thing. And yet, the panic spreads. And continues to. My advice in 2020 was the same as it is NOW. Do NOT succumb to panic. As U.S. President Donald Trump famously once said. Precautions, NOT panic! And he was RIGHT. I’m a huge Trump fan, but while I don’t agree with him on everything (most notably the shennanigans at not acknowledging the election loss etc) – I DO AGREE with everything he says about China. I say it myself! And he’s spot on about this damned plague they sent over to the ROW. They predicted the panic it would cause. And it did! But now, my friend, what you gonna do? They done spread it and bailed. (Ever wonder why the Chinese mysteriously, despite having the worlds largest population (though India is catching up) had less than 1% of the worlds COVID cases? One reason was underreporting and the Communist government in China blocking access to true numbers etc, but the other reason is they planned for this, PREPARED for it in advanced, and then, and only THEN unleashed this on the rest of the world). There is more, but that, my friend, like it or not is the gist of it. I do NOT, I repeat NOT get into politics. I dislike it to an extreme, but 2020 and the plague they spread was the straw that broke this here “misfit cranky camel’s” BACK. Anyway … we’re past that now. Now, we as the rest of the world have to, whether we like it or not DEAL with it. And buying into the panic and going into lockdown shockdown that kills economies globally and far more people as a result is NOT the way to go about it. The way to do it is a) don’t buy into the panic. And b) most importantly, recognize that the importance of HEALTH And fitness can never be overemphasized. When I say health and fitness, I mean from the inside out. When I say TRUE strength, I mean not just the bloated muscles on the outside that the boobybuilders at the “Jim Shim” preen and pump day and night and proudly boast about how “tight my muscles are” while not being able to privately raise their arms to put on their shirts. Or, so pumped full of steroids they are that they have multiple heart attacks at an age they should be in their prime, let alone heart attacks and what not. Neither am I talking chicken legged or pelican legged monsters benching Manhattan but not able to yank their own cords – have a miserably strong grip – and have little or no leg strength and consequently strength and stamina. Real health and fitness DOES not come from “sitting in the gym and yanking away on machines and doing set after set and posing and preening after each set”. IT does NOT come from retarded “pile on to the bar as much as possible” and get injured weightlifting dum shum contests. REAL strength comes from REAL fitness. So does real HEALTH. You work the legs and BACK and GRIP hard. And you do NOT neglect the CORE. And, the rest will take care of itself. I could write 100 pages or more about all this, but thats why I put out this Volume . . . Many more to come, but suffice to say that “mainstream” will get you the opposite of what you need i.e. REAL man – or woman – fitness. Fitness as Nature intened us to be. And these irreverent, pioneering, bucaneering tips have come from yours truly truly spending time in the trenches and imparting these gems of wisdom to you Sometimes, I look at the price of the book and think of increasing it, because some things are just priceless my friend. EACH of these tips by itself is worth a “goldmine of information” as it were. What you DO with it is up to you, but any serious trainee should have these for reading by his bedside – on the toilet (if thats your thang, hehe) – or for motivation (either life or fitness wise) – or to prepare for any sort of SERIOUS TRAINING! And these tips by themselves will get YOU in the best damned shape of your life, bro. Trust me on this (or sis, hehe). Enough for now. Let’s dive into it. But, first, a bit of a story from a “boobybuilder-cum-convert” I met years ago … Former BOOBY-builder tells all … Former “roid crazed” bodybuilder tells it like it is Those that know me well know that swimming is one of my favorite pastimes. In addition to it being a a great, great overall body exercise, swimming is also fun and enjoyable to do. It’s good for overweight people, it’s good for toddlers, and it’s great for the average person looking to get in some exercise. Cannot say enough good things about swimming. Anyway, swimming reminds me of something I thought I should share with you. There was a guy at the pool I swim at who used to participate in bodybuilding competitions. And when I say bodybuilding, I mean it – he looked every bit the part. Gigantic muscles popping out in all directions, an unnaturally slim waist, the flared lats; you get the photo. Now to his credit, this guy was learning how to swim – one of the best things you can do – and being that I used to hare up and down the pool at a pretty decent clip completing my laps, he’d come up to me at times and ask me for pointers on how to improve his technique, breathing style, etc etc. Now, while I’m certainly no expert on swimming, I helped him out the best I could with what I knew and some tips that I thought would improve his swimming. And while doing so, we started to chat, and got around to talking about exercise routines. And this brought up the topic of bodybuilding, and what this guy did full time for many years before taking to the pool. And it aint pretty – think 8 hours of pumping iron (not kidding you – 8 full hours pumping iron daily), making sure he got enough food in him, and of course, the anabolic steriods which is pretty much a must – do if your anyone of any repute in the bodybuilding field. “Well, at least you must have built up a considerable amount of strength with all that weight training”, I told him. And his response was this: “Yes, to a degree – but whats the point? My muscles hurt when I swim with any regularity, and I’ve already had TWO heart attacks. My wife fears the third one could be the last, so I quit professional bodybuilding at that point”. So, how old was this guy? The answer may shock you – he was 30. That’s right – THIRTY years of age, bloated muscles and all – and TWO heart attacks already! Now, I bring this up not to point fingers at this guy and give him a lecture on how bodybuilding is BAD for him – he’s done that better than I ever could by changing what he does, and hats off to him for that. But, his routine is about par for most modern day bodybuilder, and that sort of routine is best AVOIDED. The trouble is though, that all those fake muscles get folks thinking that they’re the “real deal” – and they start to ape the bodybuilder routines – and thats when the problems start. Think about it – doing all sorts of exercises for 8 hours a day daily – and eating next to nothing except protein shakes and eggs – and bloated muscles that don’t work worth a darn in the real world. Is it worth it? I can just begin to imagine how that guy would do if I asked him to rep out 5 pull-ups in good form. And as for HANDSTAND pushups – forget it – the dude would likely collapse in a heap if I even ASKED him to get into a handstand, much less execute, or TRY to execute a handstand pushup. (Those are two of the best damned exercises you can do, by the way!) Two heart attacks before the age of 30 and virtually no stamina/endurance left. Is it worth it? Only you can answer those questions for yourself, but I know what my answer is. And lest you think this type of thing is limited to bodybuilders, think again.”Professional” wrestling (not the real deal) is rife with cases of folks dying of drug overdoses, and movie stars routinely use drugs to maintain their “perfect” bodies. The question is though, what are YOU going to do, my friend? I mentioned pretty much everything the dude said to me in real life in the convo presented above – well, almost everything. While I did mention him telling me about his “ticker” issues at the “ripe old age” of 30, what I haven’t mentioned to you is the other comments he made to me – “man to man” as it were, and in the spirit of keeping this page “PG” rated, all I’m gonna say is that the ticker wasn’t the only thing not working correctly. He was having “pecker” issues as well, and as anyone that’s used steroids for a while will readily attest, while they may make your muscles bloat up unnaturally, you’ll experience “substantial size loss” in your “man bits” if you get my drift – – not to mention experience other “associated” problems. So much for the hours he spent in the gym building that functionally useless massive upper body … Show muscles, yes – beach boy muscles – yes – but what price the ticker, my friend? What price the pe … ah, but I think you get my drift? Question begets then – – what course of action are YOU going to choose now? Are you going to continue down the “bozo shozo” road of doing what the gym-shym tells you, and continue to preen and pump and pose and tone and bone and fone for hours with the bros (ugh that combo) and get NOWHERE (except whats mentioned above), or are you going to BUCKLE your ASS down, and get down to SERIOUS training, done the way yours truly does and advocates? Are you going to choose REAL HEALTH AND FITNESS over “fad shad” at the gym? Are you going to RECOGNIZE the fact that some of the fittest and baddest men on the planet do NOT lift weights or go to the GYM? Are you going to UNDERSTAND That your own bodyweight is all you need to give you a HECK of a workout, and them some? All these questions, and then some are up to YOU my friend. Only YOU can choose the path of “real man” and FITNESS – – and lifelong health as opposed to the B.S. If I were your brother though, I know what choice I’d tell you to make. On that note, lets just get straight into the BENEFITS now, and we’ll then get to the TIPS. Once again, thanks for your purchase. You’ve made the right choice! BENEFITS you can expect from understanding and then religiously FOLLOWING these tips! First off, and most importantly, it’s not enough to simply READ. You have to DO the thing, bro, to truly understand. Just like you have to walk a mile in a man’s shoes to truly understand what is going on with HIM or HER, the same thing with fitness. You cannot, I repeat, cannot be a lardassian “armchair workout fanatic”, and you’ll learn why and more on this in THIS manual. What REAL fitness entails as opposed to the preening and pumping in the gym shym. You’ll even learn about a LIST of exercises every real man (or woman) should be able to do, but precious few CAN. The two very best – and very WORST exercises you can do for your upper body that will build a ton of muscle at record speeds, and BURN lard off at record speeds as well (quicker than you can put it ON). How to literally EAT more – and WEIGH LESS – with PROOF! How to SKYROCKET past previous bests on pull-ups! How to get a core as HARD as a wall – quite literally – a core so ROCK SOLID that your elbows will BOUNCE off it. (yours, or others). And no, it ain’t just buying Corrugated Core, although those exercises in that course will sure as heck help! How to build that SEXY chest that women love, and the V taper to your back we’ve covered SO often here. And believe me, that alone might just be worth it for YOU! Why you can TAKE a horse to water – but cannot make it drink – and more to the point, why it’s pointless to try. Replace horse with idiots that think “bodyweight exercises don’t build strength” and/or “You need the Jim Shim” for STRENGTH training or the bench press/lat pulldown devotees, or the ape like nutters yanking each other’s cords and yakking away nineteen to the dozen while supposedly “working out”at the Jim Shim … Why you WILL get trolled initially when you do something that goes against the grain – and say it like it is – and why you should WELCOME that. And how to make these bozos literally cry TEARS of frustration while you laugh all the way to the bank. I know I said this was a fitness book, but given the Bozo Schofield saga, I thought I’d put this in here, and giv eyou a few marketing tips too. But hey, these tips are fitness related too! You’ll see what I mean. Why the FACT is that most people claiming to be “big and can’t do pull-ups” are actually FAT. Big time. Yes. I said it. Fat, with humungous gigantic bellies that grow by the day while they yank away at the gym shim pretending to build REAL strength while secretly admiring those that can pump out pull-ups for reps, smooth and easy as BUTTER … (And let’s face it, it’s TRUE). (And I’ve got PROOF). (Plenty of it) Why said bozos above would be better served by doing the thing as opposed to being “jealous shellus” and making EXCUSES, and hiding behind NON existent “facts” (that again, don’t exist). Really, dude. You want to do pull-ups. Just freaking admit it. Now lose the weight … and GET CRANKING! And if you know anyone like that above, YES, they CAN do bodyweight exercises – even tougher ones. Size is NOT a problem. FAT is! But of course, you gotta get past the “bozo defenses” and crack their minds open FIRST, and these tips will do just that. Why QUICK and dirty workouts that BLOW your heart’s valves wide open are far, far better than “marathon long workouts”. What you can learn from an older lady in India – a vegetable seller for one – in terms of FITNESS And on that note – what Chinese ladies and massueses can teach YOU about FITNESS … Believe me, those above two tips ALONE are so unusual and WORTH it that you’ll have gotten value – several times over and above what you’ve PAID for this course. Why Madam Jassy and her pink dumbbells ain’t the ticket to fitness I was taught as a kid … The single MOST important thing to learn when doing pull-ups or any exercise. Hint – no, it aint necessarily physical either! Well, my friend I could keep writing until 2022, and still not be done with the benefits. So I’ll sign off on those here – – and lets drive – DIVE – right INTO THE tips! (It “came out” as drive, and upon introspection for a nanosecond, I bet thats the better way). (The subconscious never ever lies! Yet something else you’ll learn about below) … Grab this now. Truly WELL worth it’s weight in GOLD! There has never EVER been a compilation of tips like this in the HISTORY of fitness. Yes, my friend. I truly am a PIONEER in certain regards and am NOT shy to blow a bugle about it from the ROOFTOPS either. Get this NOW, my friend – and you TOO will be called a pioneer – a TRAIL BLAZER – and MORE! YES!
Book Synopsis Playing It My Way by : Sachin Tendulkar
Download or read book Playing It My Way written by Sachin Tendulkar and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar.' -Shane Warne Readers are in love with Sachin Tendulkar's autobiography: 'A must read for anyone who knows cricket' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'An idol . . . An inspiration' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A great book by one of the all time greats' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Brings back so many wonderful memories'⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This book has made me feel proud to be a lover of the game and has inspired me to succeed in everything I do.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The story of the greatest cricket player of all time, told in his own words. __________ The greatest run-scorer in the history of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar retired in 2013 after an astonishing 24 years at the top. The most celebrated Indian cricketer of all time, he received the Bharat Ratna Award - India's highest civilian honour - on the day of his retirement. Now Sachin Tendulkar tells his own remarkable story - from his first Test cap at the age of 16 to his 100th international century and the emotional final farewell that brought his country to a standstill. When a boisterous Mumbai youngster's excess energies were channelled into cricket, the result was record-breaking schoolboy batting exploits that launched the career of a cricketing phenomenon. Before long Sachin Tendulkar was the cornerstone of India's batting line-up, his every move watched by a cricket-mad nation's devoted followers. Never has a cricketer been burdened with so many expectations; never has a cricketer performed at such a high level for so long and with such style - scoring more runs and making more centuries than any other player, in both Tests and one-day games. And perhaps only one cricketer could have brought together a shocked nation by defiantly scoring a Test century shortly after terrorist attacks rocked Mumbai. His many achievements with India include winning the World Cup and topping the world Test rankings. Yet he has also known his fair share of frustration and failure - from injuries and early World Cup exits to stinging criticism from the press, especially during his unhappy tenure as captain. Despite his celebrity status, Sachin Tendulkar has always remained a very private man, devoted to his family and his country. Now, for the first time, he provides a fascinating insight into his personal life and gives a frank and revealing account of a sporting life like no other. __________

Book excerpt: “At once both humorous and heartbreaking, [Aijazuddin’s] memoir allows his bubbly personality to shine in a story about letting go of shame and finding self-acceptance.” —WASHINGTON POST “[A] sterling debut . . . Aijazuddin combines blazing wit with heartbreaking candor as he recounts his path toward self-acceptance as a gay Pakistani.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review “Variously hilarious.” —FOREWORD REVIEWS, starred review “A kaleidoscopic journey in search of happiness and freedom—Aijazuddin’s account is hip, engrossing, deeply moving, and remarkably funny.” —MANIL SURI, award-winning author of The Death of Vishnu I’m just a man, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a cake. What do you do when you’re too gay for Pakistan, too Pakistani to be gay in America, and you’re ashamed of your body everywhere? How can you find happiness despite years of humiliation, physical danger, and a legion of Brooklyn hipsters who know you only as a queer from Whereveristan? How do you summon the courage to be yourself no matter where you are? Even as a young child in Lahore, Komail Aijazuddin knew he was different—no one else at his all-boys prep school was pirouetting off their desks, or bullied for their “manboobs,” or spontaneously bursting into songs from The Little Mermaid. Aijazuddin began to believe his only chance at a happy, meaningful life would be found elsewhere: America, the land of the free, the home of the gays. But the hostility of a post-9/11 world and society’s rejection of his art, his desires, and his body would soon teach him that finding happiness takes a lot more than a plane ticket. Searching for his place between two worlds while navigating a minefield of expectations, prejudice, and self-doubt, Aijazuddin discovered, sometimes painfully, sometimes hilariously, that there are people and places he’d need to let go of to move forward. Manboobs is Aijazuddin’s riotous yet intelligent memoir of searching for love, seamlessly blending humor, politics, pop culture, and the bravery required to be yourself. Aijazuddin confidently announces himself as a sharp new voice in humor with his moving, wickedly funny reexamination of the American Dream and our search for home.

Download or read book Captain's Diary written by Michael Clarke and published by Macmillan Publishers Aus.. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a three year losing streak in the Ashes, complete with a painfully recent 3-0 loss in England, facing the victorious English cricket team so soon was never going to be an easy battle. The public's faith in the young Australian team was waning. Despite their failures, captain Michael Clarke records in his diary a feeling of hunger in his team: a hunger to strike back, a hunger to prove their talent to the world. A hunger to return the urn. Michael Clarke led his team to an Ashes victory at home in a 5-0 triumph over the 2013-14 summer. Along the way, the tide of public affection turned in his favour for the first time. Clarke had previously been respected for his deeds as a batsman, but had not truly won the hearts of sports fans. This Ashes series changed that. Clarke showed the grit, talent, charisma and aggression Australian sports fans look for in their leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cricket, a sport renowned for its elegance and strategy, plays a vital role in promoting physical fitness and overall well-being. Originating in England but embraced by nations around the world, cricket is not just a game; it's a holistic fitness regimen that fosters endurance, agility, mental acumen, and camaraderie. A Comprehensive Workout: Cricket engages participants in a dynamic full-body workout. Batsmen and bowlers require strength and flexibility in their arms, legs, and core. Fielders sprint and dive to stop the ball, honing their speed and reflexes. Running between the wickets demands cardiovascular endurance, and the explosive power generated by a cricket shot or a fast-paced delivery adds to muscular strength. Cardiovascular Health: The sport's stop-and-start nature, punctuated by quick sprints, running, and walking, is excellent for cardiovascular fitness. Cricket players often cover significant distances in a match, promoting heart health and lung capacity. Strength and Conditioning: Bowlers, in particular, focus on building and maintaining upper body and core strength, crucial for delivering those powerful deliveries. Similarly, batsmen need strong leg muscles for explosive shots. Fielders need a blend of speed, strength, and agility to make quick plays in the field. Mental Fitness: Cricket is as much a mental game as a physical one. Batsmen need intense concentration to read the bowler's delivery, while bowlers must strategize to outwit the batsmen. Fielders need quick decision-making skills. This mental aspect of the game enhances cognitive agility and focus. Team Dynamics: Cricket fosters a strong sense of teamwork and camaraderie. Communication between players is essential for strategy and field placements, and the bond among team members can create a supportive and motivating environment, crucial for overall well-being. Social Engagement: Cricket transcends cultural and social boundaries, bringing people from diverse backgrounds together. This social engagement and inclusivity have a positive impact on mental health and personal growth. Lifelong Enjoyment: Unlike many other sports, cricket is a game that people can enjoy at various stages of life. From youth cricket to veteran leagues, the sport encourages lifelong participation, promoting physical activity as a constant in one's life. Promoting Healthy Lifestyles: Cricket sets a powerful example for promoting a healthy lifestyle. It encourages both players and spectators to engage in physical activity, appreciate teamwork, and enjoy the outdoors. A Global Sporting Legacy: Cricket's influence extends far beyond the field, leaving an indelible mark on cultures worldwide. It showcases the importance of physical fitness, mental acuity, and the spirit of competition. The Fitness of Mind and Body: Cricket's vital role in fitness goes beyond the physical. It is a holistic pursuit, nurturing not only the body but also the mind, offering a dynamic platform for individuals to improve their overall well-being. Whether you're a seasoned cricketer or an enthusiast, cricket's significance in promoting health and fitness is undeniable, making it a sport worth celebrating for generations to come.
Book Synopsis The Age of Discretion by : Virginia Duigan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the sex in Vivien Quarry’s thirty-two-year marriage dwindles to nothing, her husband Geoff finally gives her a reason: ‘Men are hardwired to not find older women attractive’. This unforgivable statement, uttered by a man long past his Adonis years, prompts Vivien to take drastic action. At sixty-seven, she most definitely doesn’t feel ‘past it’, and so enlists the services of the enigmatic Martin Glover from The Discretion Agency. Under the sardonic eye of her oldest friend Jules, a world-famous operatic soprano facing the closing years of a brilliant career, Viv embarks on a series of wildly unpredictable, and sometimes hilariously cringeworthy dates – with wholly unexpected consequences. Told with great humour and heart, the accomplished Virginia Duigan delivers a provocative and profoundly relatable story that proves living is not reserved for the young. Praise for Virginia’s past novels ‘Highly recommended.’ ABC’s The Book Show ‘Captivating’ The Australian ‘Duigan is a wonderful writer’ The Sunday Telegraph
