At forty-five and single, Glynnis MacNicol decides to spend seven weeks alone in Paris, defying expectations about how women of a certain age should live their lives. What follows is an intimate memoir of self-discovery, pleasure, and the radical act of claiming space for oneself.

MacNicol chronicles her Parisian summer with wit and candour, exploring the city's cafés, museums, and streets whilst reflecting on female autonomy, ageing, and the freedom that comes from rejecting conventional narratives. This is a celebration of solitude, sensuality, and the simple joy of being present in one's own life—a refreshing reminder that it's never too late to prioritise one's own happiness and desires.
