A funny, intimate contemporary novel about friendship, motherhood, marriage and finding your way back to yourself.
Over the course of a year, one woman leaves a series of messages for her best friend. What begins as a collection of funny observations about everyday life gradually becomes something more revealing.
There is a rescue dog who eats everything, a husband with a new health obsession, school holidays that seem to stretch forever, an unexpected painting class and the small absurdities of life in midlife. But beneath the humour, her messages begin to reveal a woman who is quietly questioning the life she has built.
Her children are growing up. Her mother is ageing. Her marriage is changing. And she is beginning to wonder what happened to the person she was before everyone needed something from her.
Through missed calls, ordinary conversations and the private thoughts we usually save for the people who know us best, Anyway, Call Me Back explores the invisible work of motherhood, the changing shape of long marriages, the complexity of caring for ageing parents, female friendship and the unsettling realisation that time does not slow down just because we are not ready for it to move on.
Warm, witty and deeply human, this is a novel about the quiet ways women lose themselves - and the small, unexpected ways they begin to find themselves again.
