The Panic Years: a period between adolescence and menopause; a personal crisis created by the world around us; a time to reassess and make change; a conundrum, a transformation, an opportunity.

Every decision a woman makes during the panic years - about partners, holidays, jobs, homes, savings, friendships - will be impacted by the urgency of the single decision that comes with a biological deadline, the one decision that is impossible to take back; whether or not to have a baby.

But how to stay sane in such a maddening time? How to know who you are and what you might want from life? How to know if you're making the right decisions?

Raw, hilarious and beguilingly honest, Nell Frizzell's account of her panic years is both an arm around the shoulder and a campaign to start a conversation. This affects us all - women, men, mothers, children, partners, friends, colleagues - so it's time we started talking about it with a little more candour.
