What to expect
A sharp, empowering novel about a group of women who refuse to go quietly when society tells them they’re no longer valuable beyond the age of 40, from the author of Ginger and Me.
'A rebellious and uplifting tale of punkish, middle-aged, feminist defiance' Lucy Ribchester
'A delicious tale of female rebellion and a glorious tribute to female friendship. Warm, funny, and uplifting' Caron McKinlay
★★★
Amy, Carole, Lenore and Susan have been best friends since school. Back then they couldn’t wait for the future, for the amazing lives they’d have.
But things haven’t worked out how they expected. Now in their forties, they’re fed up with being taken for granted by their families, being passed over for promotions at work and being told that they’re past their best. And they’re not going to go quietly anymore.
Fuelled by female rage and their charismatic leader Amy, the four embark on a campaign of graffiti in their hometown of Hamilton, scrawling feminist slogans on the walls of local buildings.
But is Hamilton ready for the feminist revolution the Graffiti Girls have in store?
