About this listen

A BRAND NEW uplifting 'Golden Girls Behaving Badly' book club pick from Kate Galley

Must-listen for fans of Maddie Please and Judy Leigh!

Two old friends. One unexpected adventure!

When, at the age of 71, Gina Knight's husband of four decades left her unexpectedly, she thought her life over. Until she met Dorothy Reed – a woman so full of the joie de vivre you'd think she was 21, not nearly 90. Gina would do anything for Dorothy. So when Dorothy suggests she take on the role of companion for one of Dorothy's old friends, Gina sees no reason to say no.

Meredith Harper is a successful writer, living in Provence, and needs help looking after her husband, whose health is deteriorating. But when Gina arrives at the grand chateau, it becomes clear that Dorothy has not given Gina the full story. Because Meredith is also writing her memoirs, and Dorothy wants to know the contents before anyone else. So much so, she's sent Gina to spy.

But what secrets is Meredith keeping? And will Gina be able to find out the truth before her cover's blown?

Kate Galley’s “Coming of Older Age” stories are witty and a delight to read. In her second adventure, Gina Knight heads off to the South of France to assist an elderly couple.
I look forward to Gina and Dorothy’s next adventure.

Another delightful story from Kate Galley

Liked listening and enjoyed mostly. However, a little bit of a sad listen really. No all the fun the cover image seems to suggest. The characters had many issues to overcome. Would have liked some more evocative descriptions of the sunshine and food and where the action took place to cheer up the story.

I enjoyed this read however not as much as the first book or others by this author. I found the story hard to get into but overall a solid book.

Enjoyable
