'AN OUTSTANDING DEBUT' MARY BETH KEANE
'UTTERLY GRIPPING' DAISY BUCHANAN
I am sitting in the waiting room of a London clinic. In ten minutes I will have an injection that, I am assured, will erase the last twenty years from my face. It's quiet in here, and the light is golden. I'm not sure I believe this is possible . . .
Forty-five-year-old Julia is a freelance journalist mired in the myriad pressures of midlife, until a dream commission promises to transform her flagging career. A pioneering anti-ageing drug is poised to launch in the UK, claiming to turn back the clock. One quick injection, and Julia can throw off the shackles of middle-age and secure a prominent byline in the country's most respected newspaper.
But as the fix takes effect, Julia finds herself newly visible, and when her own needs and desires rise to the fore, life spins into chaos. Her husband is blindsided, her daughters appalled, her best friend ecstatic. But is looking young the same as being young? And once you've spent your youth, what is the cost of getting it back?
Provocative, resonant and funny, The Fix is a story of power and patriarchy, family and autonomy, and how we reconcile the person we once were with the person we've become.

Commentaires
Will make you angry as much as it makes you laugh. It's a mad time to be ageing so let The Fix keep you company (Sara Pascoe)
I'm in total admiration of this book. I can't imagine there's a woman out there who wouldn't identify with Julia. I wish I could meet her in real life for a drink, a cig and a long chat. It's an outstanding debut (Mary Beth Keane)
I adore Marianne Levy's writing (Holly Bourne)
I absolutely tore through The Fix and LOVED it! Utterly gripping, chillingly prescient and very, very funny, it will stay with me for a long time (Daisy Buchanan)
A wonderful book, powerful and funny and brilliantly imagined. The Fix is an incredible treat - I had so much fun reading it (Holly Gramazio)
Such a clever and thought-provoking read about motherhood, marriage and ageing - I couldn't put it down (Ellie Levenson)
Utterly brilliant: fearless, compassionate and bloody hilarious (Tammy Cohen)
I REALLY f**king loved it . . . Marianne Levy skewers the agony and joy of womanhood like never before. You will thrust this brilliantly funny, essential book into the hands of everyone you know (Julia Raeside)
A savage triumph: sharp, original and hilarious, it's the witty, angry friend you need. I laughed, I cried, I fumed and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. An addictive and dazzling must-read (Jo Harkin)
Ferociously gripping, timely and provocative. I felt enthralled, enlightened, euphoric, and most of all SEEN (Beth Morrey)
A funny, furious and razor-sharp novel about motherhood, middle age and our unhealthy infatuation with youth. Marianne Levy takes a knife to the system that feeds on women's insecurities to make money, holding up a mirror to our current preoccupations, and warning us of what might be on the horizon. A searing triumph (Anna Mazzola)
Funny, insightful and brilliantly written . . . Highly recommended (Kate Sawyer)
An astute, hilarious, entertaining, acute take on the absurdities of modern life. My favourite novel I've read in a long time. OBSESSED (Jean Hannah Edelstein)
Compulsively readable. I'm dying to discuss this book with everyone I know (Emily Bell)
I adored The Fix, a fascinating, compelling and timely novel about all the ways in which people, especially women, change and in which life changes them. Marianne Levy's writing is addictive: fast-paced, tender, and very, very funny. I laughed; I cried; I wrote down sentences which were so good I didn't want to forget them. This book will stay with me for a long time and I can't recommend it highly enough (Chloë Houston)
Smart and irresistible. I loved it! (Deirdre Mask)
A provocative and sharply-observed novel about a miracle anti-ageing drug. It promises to be a pleasing 'f*ck you' to the ageist machinations of the patriarchy and I am very much down for it
What a brilliant premise. The Fix is fantastically written, so funny and so rage-inducing. I couldn't put it down (Emily Itami)
