When Mia Freedman turned 50, she realised she’d accidentally become grout: the stuff between the tiles that nobody notices, holding everyone else together… while quietly falling apart.

Grout is a living audio memoir about mid-life.

A face she doesn’t recognise, a body that wants to be a circle, kids who need her less, parents who need her more and a new name she definitely didn’t ask for. 

It’s funny, it’s poignant and it’s a mess. 
The prologue lands Tuesday 17 November, and new chapters drop as life keeps happening.
