What to expect

'This great read manages to be both funny and emotionally charged' Fabulous, The Sun

Four women who have lost themselves or who want to be lost, spend a life-changing weekend at a wild retreat on Bodmin Moor.

'Relatable, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny' Platinum

Talking about feelings is Emma’s idea of hell. Annoyingly, she’s bottling up a lot of them. According to her husband, she’s been in a bad mood for the last five years.

But Emma needs to open up to help her struggling daughter. The family therapist suggests a wellness retreat, so she’s picked the maddest one she could find.

Which is how she has found herself on Bodmin Moor with two strangers and a retreat leader called Clover urging her to get in touch with her ‘dark feminine divine’.

But Clover doesn’t know just how much Emma is hurting, and the more she pushes, the more Emma resists. Can she finally accept the anger she feels, and what will happen when she finally lets it all out?

Brilliant funny and very relevant, Middle Rage is a rallying cry for women everywhere.

Critics Review

‘Mollie Kendrick’s debut is written so engagingly, it’s hard to believe you’re not one of the women on the retreat. I wanted the cacao, the massage, I wouldn’t even have minded the naked dancing. Fascinating company that keeps you entertained with every turn of the page.’ Melanie Cantor
‘I loved this compulsive novel that is moving and funny, and a reminder of the journey women have taken – and the lives that still need to change. The characters and their stories slowly wrap themselves around you and hold on oh so tight. A must-read for *good girls* everywhere.’ Samantha Tonge
'A call-to-arms to recognise the power of what happens when women come together, this is a relatable story for women of every age and experience. Warm, wise, funny and moving, these are women who dare to face and forgive their darkest shadows, to strip back the layers to reach back into who they truly are – and to step fully into how they want, and deserve, to live.' Jenny Knight
'A sharply funny rallying cry about three women at a chaotic retreat on Bodmin Moor. Between cacao and ceremonies and naked dancing, they confront midlife anger, motherhood and rediscovery' The Bookseller
