She’s baked a pistachio cake, as she has for seventy years, and is waiting to be collected for the 102nd birthday party of her old friend Martin, a detective novelist. As she waits, her thoughts meander through a lifetime of memories – marriage, widowhood, friendship, longing, and a sexual awakening that came shockingly late.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eWith humour, ambiguity, and sharp insight, Claire reconsiders the man she married, the life she lived, and the strange, hard-won freedom that followed. What really happened the night her husband died? Did she remake her life, or simply reframe it? And is desire ever really behind us?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eBy turns tender, frank, and subversively funny, Waiting for a Party is a quietly radical portrait of an older woman who refuses to disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259499565400,"sku":"9781784633226","price":17.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781784633226.jpg?v=1777791628","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/waiting-for-a-party","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
