Evans is a brilliant storyteller' Stylist\r\n'A timely, bittersweet comic novel' Guardian\r\n'A thoughtful, funny, companionable novel' Sunday Times\r\n_______________________________\r\n\r\nWhat do you do next, after you've changed the world?\r\n\r\nIt is 1928. Matilda Simpkin, rooting through a cupboard, comes across a small wooden club - an old possession of hers, unseen for more than a decade.\r\n\r\nMattie is a woman with a thrilling past and a chafingly uneventful present. During the Women's Suffrage Campaign she was a militant. Jailed five times, she marched, sang, gave speeches, smashed windows and heckled Winston Churchill, and nothing - nothing - since then has had the same depth, the same excitement.\r\n\r\nNow in middle age, she is still looking for a fresh mould into which to pour her energies. Giving the wooden club a thoughtful twirl, she is struck by an idea - but what starts as a brilliantly idealistic plan is derailed by a connection with Mattie's militant past, one which begins to threaten every principle that she stands for.\r\n\r\nOld Baggage is a funny and bittersweet portrait of a woman who has never, never given up the fight.","brand":"Lissa Evans","offers":[{"title":"Transworld \/ 27 Dec 2018 \/ 375","offer_id":50647134077269,"sku":"9781784161217","price":3.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0501\/4188\/8668\/files\/9781784161217.webp?v=1744883166","url":"https:\/\/www.bookworld.ie\/products\/old-baggage","provider":"Book World Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
