Early evening, all over the world, women reach back and unclasp their bra, then ease it out via their sleeves and
fling it across the room, or pop it in their handbag, a nearby vase, or similar.
Rosalie Ham, the international bestselling author who burst onto the literary scene in 2000 with her novel The
Dressmaker, has moved into non-fiction.
After years of entertaining us with weird and wonderful older women loved by readers, Rosalie, with her trademark wit,
now shares her keen observations on the unexpected advantages and indignities of getting older.
Peppered with practical advice about all manner of things – cheese and wine for dinner anyone? – alongside
appreciation for the wisdom that seems to accelerate as body parts deteriorate, Look After Your Feet is
Rosalie's ode to hindsight and the knowledge of elders. Because that's where you get to see that all the things in your
life eventually fall into place – whether you like it or not.
'This book actually makes me look forward to getting old. I giggled all the way. Can Rosalie Ham be my friend?'
Nikki Gemmell
'Thanks to Rosalie Ham, I will look after my feet, enjoy the wisdom I've accumulated from the mistakes I have
made and savour this life like a strong martini!' Tracy Harvey
