Eleanor Mills

Aged 49, award-winning journalist Eleanor was made redundant, abruptly and unceremoniously. She lost her sense of purpose and her identity. But she noticed she wasn’t alone and many women her age were struggling with equally seismic events, be it divorce, bereavement, illness, anxious teens or empty nest. In Much More to Come the former Sunday Times editorial director, now a regular commentator on Radio 4 and Sky News, mixes moving stories with practical wisdom to celebrate the experiences of midlife; not a crisis but a chrysalis.
