How to Find a Husband by Forty
Sarah Bridge is 38, single and not happy about it. So what is a girl to do?
How to Find a Husband by Forty, to be published next year by Mainstream, will follow the real-life trials and tribulations of Sarah, a newspaper journalist with a hectic working life, an equally busy social life, and a growing panic that she’s completely missed the boat when it comes to getting married.
While she does everything humanly possible to track down a man, she also reflects on why she wants to find a partner. Is she scared of being alone? Is she desperate to have children? Is she just trying to confirm to society’s expectations? And would she be better off just giving up completely or settling for second best?
The book will be an entertaining and fascinating look at her quest – the horror stories and the high points, the torture of getting out there every day and every night in the hope of finding someone, and the sheer luck and hard work involved.
