“Men, always bloody men,” Fenella sighed, “Bottom line is, it always comes down to a man. It doesn’t matter if it’s because of love or money. You’re either running to a man, running after a man, or running away from a man.”
'Stop the world I need to pee', is an ordinary woman's hilarious and sometimes tragic journey to find love, adventure and a better life. Set in Southern Africa it moves from the final days of the apartheid era in South Africa, to the present.
Fenella Fisher is not beautiful or blessed with extraordinary talents or gifts. Fenella Fisher is an ordinary woman, not unlike the girl next door or a woman you might work with. However, Fenella appears to live her life going from crisis to crisis. Things just seem to happen to her, and instead of letting them get her down, Fenella always lifts herself out of the mess, or ends up having the last laugh. In Stop the world I need to pee, Fenella embarks on a rollercoaster ride through life, searching for love and the dream man – who always turns out to have flaws, as well as a better life for her children. On her journey, Fenella encounters con-artists, crazy sickos, other women's husbands and a few genuinely nice people who become her lifelong friends. You might love her, or hate her, but you won’t deny the fact that Fenella’s escapades, some a little raunchy, will have kept you entertained.
I am one of those unfortunate people that has things happen to them all the time. It's like I'm a crisis magnet. Over the years, many people have suggested that I write a book about my adventures. As I love writing, I thought, why the hell not. And, Fenella Fisher was born. A character, that uncanny as it may seem, has many adventures surprisingly similar to mine. For anyone who likes a laugh, and has escaped from sticky situations and marital abuse, then this book will be the one for you. “When I’m on my deathbed one day, I want to be able to say, I have lived my life to the fullest.” Fenella Fisher.
