NO RETREAT, Book 4 of THE EUPHEMIA SAGE CHRONICLES.
Euphemia follows a friend to the Acceptance Institute Retreat on Waiheke Island in a last bid to stop her giving away her money. Jane has come along, determined to find out the meaning of life in two weeks. The food is green, coffee is forbidden, and the friend she has come to save has taken a vow of silence. There are cameras everywhere. Why would anyone want to spy on a group of middle-aged women seeking enlightenment? How can Euphemia use her superpowers to escape the yoga, the interminable meditations, cold salads, forced massages, and save her friend when every thing she does is being recorded? Follow Euphemia's next unpredictable, offbeat and fun adventure as she seeks the answers to her deepest questions.
What Critics have said about THE EUPHEMIA SAGE CHRONICLES.
GOODREADS REVIEW Hot Flush, Book 1 in the EUPHEMIA Sage Chronicles: "What an interesting concept - certain women develop super powers when they go through menopause! This story was a delightful romp combined with a thriller of a plot, odd as that combination may sound. Euphemia Sage is 53 years old when she starts having hot flushes (or hot flashes, as we in the United States tend to call them - the book takes place in Wellington, New Zealand). Her aunt had told her vague stories about how she might find herself with unique abilities when she started going through menopause but had thought they were just old family stories. Then an old friend (?frenemy?) from school turns to Euphemia for help from a loan shark and the adventures really start.
This was definitely a fun read ... I will have to search out the second one in this series! "
New Zealand Booksellers Review: HOT FLUSH: "I loved this, just loved it, reading it one Friday night when I had the house to myself, a glass of wine in hand, well, more than one actually, music playing and the cat stretched out on my legs. Totally perfect. I cannot wait to read the sequel."
Booklife Fiction Prize Review: SWITCHED UP. Book 2: "An exciting montage of villains, superheroines, and good-versus-evil that will leave readers asking for more."
Booklife Fiction Prize Review: EMPTY NEST. Book 3, "Perhaps what Rosy Fenwicke does best is write about an often overlooked and underestimated group - middle-aged women."
Genre: Literary Fiction
