The Awakening of Claudia Faraday

1920s England. One conventional society lady's life is about to change forever.

Claudia is a fifty-something super-respectable mother of three who has never put a foot wrong in her life.

But now, rattling around her too-big family home, her daughters fled the nest and her husband working overseas, Claudia faces a blank future.

Then an unexpected event shakes her out of her torpor in an unexpected way, and urges her to venture into the world with a fresh mind and updated outlook, prompted to re-evaluate the lives of her family and her friends and, ultimately, herself.

It is a brand new world of the Roaring Twenties: a carnival of short skirts and no corsets, unorthodox attitudes and convention-defying desires. Of fun, freedom and Marie Stopes. Where sex does not have to mean just lying back and thinking of England. Where, as Claudia discovers, the possibilities - even for a woman in her fifties - are endless.'
