It’s never too late to follow your dreams…

Emily Forsyth is on cloud nine…

She has a high-flying job (literally), a hunky boyfriend (soon to be fiancé?) and a life of luxury. But then, out of the blue, her boyfriend dumps her for a younger woman, and Emily comes crashing down to earth.

Suddenly, she’s single and homeless, and the prospect of staying in the same job as her cheating ex is unbearable. So, at forty years not-so-young, she quits steady employment and decides to chase her lifelong dream of becoming an actress.

But with eccentric acting teachers, unreliable agents, and some decidedly unglamorous roles on offer, has she made a huge mistake? Or is this the start of something wonderful?

Previously published as Learning to Fly

About Jane Lambert

Jane Lambert studied Modern Languages at Stirling University, taught English in Vienna then travelled the world as cabin crew, before making the life-changing decision to become an actor in her mid-thirties. She has appeared in Calendar Girls, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, True West, Witness for the Prosecution and Deathtrap in London’s West End. The Start of Something Wonderful was inspired by this rather risky career change.

Her latest novel, A Scottish Teashop in Napoli, will be launched in July 2025 by Bedford Square Publishers.
