It’s Been six weeks since my last confession
Available at all good booksellers from 12 October 2025
In this, her 19th book, Peta Mathias regales her readers with indiscreet storiesfrom her life - how to deal with anger and temps perdu, why it's not a sin to wear black underwear, how eating sun-drenched food will keep you young and beautiful forever, how to open your eyes with a knife and what happens when you go on holiday with five A-types. If Peta can survive her life while wearing designer clothes and red lipstick, so can you. You don't have to be a recovered Catholic to tell the truth.
“It’s been six weeks since my last confession is not really a memoir. It’s more of a manual on how to live a full life. Peta Mathias writes with warmth, humour and insight. She shares her life and recipes with generosity and joy. I absolutely loved this book.”
— Diane Connell, author of The Improbable Life Of Ricky Bird
“Peta Mathias ladles out another perfectly seasoned bouillabaisse of a book rich with wit, weirdness, wickedness and just the right amount of spice.”
— Sarah-Kate Lynch, writer
“Wise, witty & wicked, Peta Mathias is always a joy.”
