Summary
From the #1 bestselling author of The Old Ducks' Club!
Clover Harrington might be sixty-one, but she’s still bossing it in the corporate world and can still run rings around her younger colleagues. And then she is made redundant….
Devastated and now suddenly the wrong side of sixty Clover doesn’t know what to do with her life or her corporate wardrobe! What does she wear if not red lippy and a power suit?! Rather than offer her any support, her partner, Jack announces he's off on a golfing weekend, leaving Clover completely adrift.
Desperate to get away from it all, Clover decides to visit her cousin Zoe at her small taverna in the gorgeous Italian Lakes. There she can rest and recuperate and plan the next stage of her life.
Until Clover’s eighty-year-old mother, Eleanor, decides to turn up for the holiday too! Instead of gentle ambles around the lake, Eleanor seems more interested in late night poker and swigging Prosecco and Clover can’t quite believe her mum is having more fun than she is. But as the saying goes - if you can’t beat em, join em!
But is Clover brave enough to live La Dolce Vita?
Perfect for fans of Judy Leigh and Dee Macdonald

Another SMASHER from Maddie Please!
I absolutely adored this book and this author. She has such an amazing way of describing smells, sights, tastes, that it makes you feel like you’re on whatever wonderful trip she is writing about.
Counting down the days until the next release!

A feel good book
I think this is the 3rd or 4th book l have read from this author and this one didn't disappoint. I enjoyed the story and the characters which were brought to life by the excellent narrator. I can't praise her highly enough, lovely speaking voice and you won't believe that it is just one person voicing all the characters, excellent 🥰

Another great read from Maddie Please!
I have loved all her books so far. I have one last one to read and will be gutted when I have finished it. I always enjoy the characters so much and the narrator really brings the story to life.
