Shall We Dance?

'Was he even twenty-five? He was half my age and I was dancing with him like some moon-eyed teenager.'Loulou Landers, London's undisputed Queen of Vintage Fashion, meets a man on the eve of her dreaded forty-ninth birthday. He's kind, he's sensitive, he's divinely handsome and he carries a designer suit like George Clooney. Unfortunately, he's barely half her age, and Loulou's just not ready to 'go cougar'.Then there is Loulou's 21-year-old daughter, Theo, who won't get a job, won't move out, wears chainstore fashion, and hasn't said a civil word to her mother for years. And she is on the verge of her own spectacularly unsuitable affair.So how will Loulou cope with a daughter who's off the rails, a man who won't take no for an answer, an ageing process that won't slow down – not to mention a birthday party in a camping ground? Like she always has – with wit, grit and an exemplary sense of style.'A supreme commentator on the vagaries of fashion.'- Sunday Age'A humorous page-turning style.'- Sydney Morning Herald'Alderson's books have heart.'- The Melbourne Weekly'If you love chick lit, Maggie Alderson is your idol.'- Shesaid.com'Alderson's sensibility and wit make for clever chick lit.'- Vogue Entertaining and Travel Visit Maggie's blog
