A wise and witty memoir of starting again in later life, following acclaimed journalist Lucy Kellaway as she changes jobs, homes, relationships and hair colours in her fifties. ' A beautifully told story of courage, determination and, above all, magnificent defiance' Alan Johnson' Bracing and inspirational' Nigella Lawson' A wonderful writer. . . life-affirming' Jon Snow' I am immersed in a new world that feels a long way from my old one. Though I' ve not been re-invented, what has happened is just as radical and a lot more interesting- I am being re-educated. ' Lucy Kellaway had a comfortable life. For years she had the same prestigious job, the same husband, and the same home. To the casual observer, she was both happy and successful. But one day, Lucy began to realise that the life she had built for herself no longer suited her. Was it too late to start again? The answer was no - so she proceeded to tear down both marriage and career, and went back to school. Retraining as a teacher, Lucy discovers there is a world of new possibilities awaiting her - and learns that you can teach an old dog new tricks (providing they are willing to un-learn a few old ones along the way). A witty and moving story of one woman' s pursuit of a new life, Re-educated is a celebration of education' s power to transform our lives at any age, and an essential companion for anyone facing the joy - and pain - of starting again.
This is a beautifully told story of courage, determination and, above all, magnificent defiance. * Alan Johnson * Everyone over 50 needs to read this bracing and inspirational book * Nigella Lawson * Candid, original, humorous, and sad. Lucy Kellaway has always been a wonderful writer. This is a life-affirming account of how and why she ticks. * Jon Snow *
Lucy Kellaway is an English writer and teacher. For over twenty years, she was an observer of the peculiarities of corporate culture in her column for the Financial Times, before retraining as a teacher. She is a co-founder of the educational charity Now Teach and lives in London.
