About the Book

Disaffected, broke, cynical, 44-year-old Kendal Tudge has just received a call from the warden of the old people's home, Jurassic Court: her sole relative Uncle Clem has died. She filches some of her housemate's clothes and dashes to the funeral in sleepy Dorset with all her prejudices against the provincial and elderly stacked in her scruffy backpack. Only to find out that Bingo! - she's hit the jackpot and inherited Clem's flat where she temporarily installs herself. Within days she's rather enjoying the free clean air, free food and the views from her free accommodation of coast, country, and... Gary, the handsome warden. Why not stay? Trouble is, you have to be over 60. And not mind oldies for neighbours. So begins Kendal's quixotic, complicated, funny seaside odyssey of self-discovery and... subterfuge (yes, she pretends to be older!) with the trusty aid of her newly devised Tudge Transformation Toolkit. A comedy, a romance, about growing up, honesty, friendship and... what it is to age.

Review :
'...warm and humorous, it manages to entertain while being unafraid to confront our prejudices and ask some serious and very topical questions about ageing' Vesna Goldsworthy, FRSL, author of Iron Curtain, Monsier Ka, Gorsky '...Funny, wise and original... a complete delight and the chaotic, mesmerising Kendal Tudge is a Jurassic Coast Bridget Jones for our times. More, please' Ashley Pharoah, screenwriter (Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes) 'Ros Huxley's Kendal is an outsider, irreverent, self-serving and hilarious. Shove the dishes and the deadlines aside and make way, you won't be disappointed' Kim Squirrel, novelist and poet 'A glorious story about finding belonging in midlife by acting older instead of chasing after youth. Heart-warming, funny and feel good' Tanya Shadrick, author of The Cure for Sleep 'A heartwarming and hilarious novel that's hard to put down. Kendal is alternately endearing and infuriating and you cannot help but care about her. A wonderful debut' Carla Jenkins, author of Fifty Minutes 'Balancing savage social observation with empathy and wit, Kendal Acts Up plots a wildly entertaining path through questions of age, and how we value one another. Huxley's is an ethics without righteousness, a utopia without delusion. Bravo!' Amber Husain, author of Replace Me and Meat Love 'A perfect summer read set on England's Jurassic coast. I adored Kendal Tudge from the opening pages and wanted to go on an adventure with her. Sexy, sassy and up for a bit of sea-swimming - what's not to love?'Jessica Hepburn,Save Me From The Waves, 21 & The Pursuit of Motherhood 'A timely story, funny and engaging'Senta Rich, Hotel 21 and The Single Neighbour
