Samenvatting

A second memoir from the Costa-shortlisted writer Sylvia Patterson, her story of illness, aging and getting through it all

'There's no mistaking the writing of Sylvia Patterson' Sunday Times

'One of the finest writers in the world' David Quantick

'One of my favourite music writers ever' Jude Rogers

'Exhilarating' Daily Mail

How does the big stuff in life truly change us?


In late 2019, Sylvia Patterson was a celebrated pop journalist, merrily writing about the musical greats. But with a life-threatening diagnosis, global pandemic and collapse of her industry, life took a drastic turn.

This misadventure would teach her many things. The power of friendship, the shock of mortality and what happens when love is tested. How a walk in the park, a spontaneous dance and a TV hero can save your life. And what really happens when your body, never mind your kitchen, falls apart.

The follow-up to Costa-shortlisted I'm Not with the Band, this is Sylvia's gallows-funny odyssey through the mid-life trials we all face, as she asks the big question: would it change her, or would she stay that same old girl?



'Patterson is one of the great comic writers of the last quarter century' THE HERALD

'Unsparing but ultimately uplifting, every sentence cuts a caper' MOJO

'A thoroughly engaging, life-affirming book'

How does the big stuff in life truly change us?
In late 2019, Sylvia Patterson was a celebrated pop journalist, still merrily writing about the musical greats. But with the diagnosis of a life-threatening disease, a global pandemic and the collapse of her industry, life was about to take a drastic turn.

It was a misadventure that would teach her many things. The power of friendship, the shock of mortality and what happens when love is tested. How a walk in the park, a spontaneous dance and a TV hero can save your life. How your perspective can shift on everything, from work, family and music, to what truly makes you happy. And what really happens when your body, never mind your kitchen, falls apart.

The follow-up to the Costa-shortlisted I'm Not with the Band, this is Sylvia's unflinching, poignant and gallows-funny odyssey through the mid-life trials we all face, as she tries to answer the big question: would it all change her, or would she stay that same old girl?
