Description

‘Utterly inspiring and empowering’ Jennie Godfrey

'Ten shades of extraordinary’ Rosie Walsh

I was fifty-five when I finally stopped pretending.

What if real freedom isn’t about reinventing yourself… but about letting the woman you buried years ago grow wild again?

To the world, Jane Green had everything: bestselling novels, a beautiful home, the perfect family. Inside, she was disappearing, squeezed into the roles of wife, mother, provider, eternal people-pleaser while her marriage cooled, her children flew, and her own dreams gathered dust.

Then she stopped squeezing herself into shapes that didn’t fit.

Rewilding is the raw, exhilarating story of what happened next. Of rediscovering the loud, messy, paint-splattered art student she once was. Of choosing meaningful friendships over obligation, creativity over perfection, and the truth over silence. Of learning – messily and joyfully – that home isn’t a place you build for other people. It’s the life you dare to live for yourself.

Part memoir, part battle cry, Rewilding is for any woman who has ever felt invisible in her own story. And it’s proof that surrender could be the most radical act of all… and that the most powerful thing you can do is stop trying to be good, and start being free.

For readers of Glennon Doyle, Elizabeth Gilbert and Brene Brown

I really enjoy Jane's fiction books so was intrigued to read this memoir. As a 40 something woman whose child is about to leave home and who left her husband a few years ago I can definitely relate to her journey! To that feeling of life not having turned out to be what you expected, but trying to figure out what you really want.

I wish this book had been around when I reached that turning point as it would have been interesting to read about someone else's experiences, especially in a memoir as open and honest as this one. I think it is a book many middle aged women will be able to relate to.

Finished early hours this morning. Wow! This book will change lives. It will make women think, it will help them find courage, it will help them grow and transform. I feel like i know Jane so much better now, and I understand her as a person. I'm humbled but empowered.
