About this listen

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lido comes a story about following your dreams, set over one single day.

Welcome to the café that never sleeps.

Day and night, Stella's Café opens its doors to the lonely and the lost, the morning people and the night owls. It's a place where everyone is always welcome, where life can wait at the door.

Meet Hannah and Mona: best friends, waitresses, dreamers. They love working at Stella's - the different people they meet, the small kindnesses exchanged. But is it time to step outside and make their own way in life?

Come inside and spend twenty-four hours at Stella's Café, where one day might just be enough to change your life...

Critic reviews

"A moving and beautifully crafted novel about love, friendship and life." (Mike Gayle)

I loved this book. So interesting hearing about the lives of all the different characters that came and went to the cafe. Gripped me from beginning to end. Well narrated too. The ending was surprising and very emotional. Had me guessing the outcome right until the last minute!

Wonderful book!

The narrator Clare is amazing, she has me drawn into the cafe to meet all the characters. Her voice is so soothing she makes the book come alive. I’ve listened for 15 minutes a day whilst having my breakfast and looked forward to indulging in the 24 hour cafe everyday.
The author Libby is such an amazing writer, she has me from the very first sentence, I’ve felt like part of the book all the way along. My adult daughter is a dancer and I’ve told her and all of her friends to read it. This isn’t just fantasy it’s so real. I stumbled upon Libby and have also read The Lido, you make books come to life. Please don’t ever stop writing! Your books are my friends!

This is a truly lovely book. One that’s perfect for the long hours of the night if you can’t sleep. The character portraits of the various staff and customers of the cafe are etched as finely as those in a Jane Austin novel but with a modern twist. It’s a book you can relax into without getting wound up.

Magical story
