The state of things was endurable – enjoyable even – while  her daughter lived at home. But when Emma leaves home to start university, Anette soon realises that she is left with an abundance of what she’s been missing for the past couple of decades: time.

WHAT BETTER WAY to spend her time than to start taking motorcycle lessons; jump straight into an impossible project; get to know her own slightly senile mother; and throw herself head over heels into romance?
