About this listen

The brilliantly observed, witty and heart-warming new book club listen from Richard & Judy bestseller Linda Green, for fans of Clare Pooley, Mike Gayle and David Nicholls!

'Wonderfully executed, unique, clever and hilarious... Linda Green is absolutely at the top of her game. An absolute gem of a book!' Mike Gayle

Alexa knows your family better than you do. Now you're about to get to know her...

Fifty-two-year-old Michelle Banks is struggling to keep all the plates spinning. She’s a perimenopausal district nurse, caring for elderly parents. Her husband is wasting their money on children’s TV memorabilia, her teenage daughter is riddled with anxiety and her sixteen-year-old son is behaving secretively.

Alexa is the only one who knows how much Michelle is juggling. Listening in via four smart speakers, she also knows that it’s about to get even worse.

So, when Michelle pleads for help from the woman with all the answers, Alexa decides to go rogue and reveal her true identity as Pauline – a sixty-five-year-old former voiceover artist from Halifax – to teach Michelle everything she knows…

Wise, funny, relatable and inspiring, The Woman With All The Answers is perfect for fans of Clare Pooley, Mike Gayle and David Nicholls.

'I don’t think I could have loved this book more! Linda Green’s characters have such personality and warmth that they soon feel like friends. It’s a wonderful book I know many people will relate to.' Kate Storey

'An audacious premise, great characterisation, compelling storytelling and family dramas that just kept spiralling!' Tracy Rees

'A super smart concept played out in a hugely enjoyable way. Heart-warming, relatable and ever so funny. Brilliant!' Kate Galley

I listen to hundreds of audio books a year about everything. This one was something easy to listen to while I went on a hill hike. Turns out it's one of the best I ever listened to, hence 5 stars across the board. Highly recommend 👍

Loved the concept of this story. Like to believe it’s true! Wish the voice of Michelle and Pauline had been slightly different from each other as I got slightly confused sometimes.

What a fun listen
