I picked up this book as recommendation on one of the discussion threads. Are there any other books like that you could recommend? A chatty book with ideas and reflections. The fact that she is British and I live in England helps.

This book talks about issues which post kids mums/older women talk (or in my case don't talk) about. It gave me good lift up from a dark-ish place I found myself in regards to my age creeping up on me, the menopause, changes to my body and life in general. My point of view needs changing but for some reason I need external forces to help me to see it.

Try Nora Ephron, not British but good on the issues you mention or Jane Shilling The Stranger in the Mirror.
