Summary
The most uplifting audiobook you’ll listen to this year!
It has been a long and lonely year for neighbours Vivienne, Mary and Gwen. All ladies of a ‘certain age’, their lockdown experience has left them feeling isolated and alone. They are in desperate need of a change.
Things start to look up however, when Gwen comes up with a plan to get them out of London by borrowing a motor home. In no time at all the ladies are on the road - away from the city, away from their own four walls and away from their worries.
The British countryside has never looked more beautiful. As they travel from Stonehenge to Dartmoor, from the Devon and Cornish coasts to the Yorkshire moors, gradually the years fall back and the three friends start to imagine new futures with no limitations.
And as their journey continues and their friendships deepen and while the seaside views turn into glorious mountains and moors, Mary, Vivienne and Gwen learn to smile again, to laugh again and maybe even to love again. Now they can believe that the best is still to come....
Funny, joyful and with a spring in its step that reminds you to live every day like it’s your last. Judy Leigh has once again written the perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Dawn French and Cathy Hopkins.

Heartwarming, sensitive and hopeful
An easy read, a heartwarming and sensitive book, giving hope to us all over 60s and an insight to those under that age that life is never over to the day it ends. Beautifully written.

Very Enjoyable
Lovely story about the importance of friends and companjonship. Demands nothing of you, other than to listen. Leaves you with a good feeling and a reminder to reach out.

Disappointing
I enjoyed the older characters but was a bit boring and over flowery for me I love descriptive language but a bit too much and not enough to keep the story interesting

This was such a lovely easy listen, the narrators voice was so pleasant and I felt that I could actually see what they were showing me.

Cosy gentle adventure of some older ladies!
This is my first book from this writer, and I've really enjoyed the diverse little group of characters and their stories. Gentle fiction like a warm hug. Lovely narration too.

Delightful
A wonderful uplifting story of love and friendship. Very enjoyable with some beautifully descriptive text “ globes of rain like pearls” I’ll never look at a drop of rain on the window in the same way again. It took me a few chapters to get into this but I am so glad I stuck with it.
