Hagitude: Reimagining the Second Half of Life by Sharon Blackie is a transformative exploration for women ready to embrace their authentic selves during life's latter chapters. This compelling book encourages readers to celebrate the potent energy and wisdom that flourish as they step into their middle years and beyond.
In Hagitude, Blackie artfully redefines what it means to thrive in a society that often marginalizes older women. She presents "hagitude" as a powerful state of being where joy, beauty, and self-worth converge, allowing women to reclaim their place in the world. Rather than fading into the background, this book inspires women to thrive with a renewed sense of purpose and vitality.
Through a captivating blend of mythology, psychology, landscape, and ecofeminism, Blackie reframes the middle years as an alchemical moment—a springboard into a future defined by choice and authenticity. She explores the elder years as not merely a passage of time but as a pathway to dynamic influence and profound wisdom.
Hagitude offers ample inspiration for women of all ages to reimagine their journeys, inviting them to embrace the grace and strength that comes with age. Dive into this empowering narrative and discover how to flourish in the second half of life with renewed passion and purpose.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
