It’s Been six weeks since my last confession
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.”
— Nicky Pellegrino, writer.
