About this listen

‘A new Lucy Diamond book is one of the happiest highlights of my calendar’ Katie Fforde

It’s a beautiful day in Manchester and four friends are meeting for a birthday lunch. But then they witness a shocking accident just metres away, which acts as a catalyst for each of them.

For Laura, it’s a wake-up call to heed the ticking of her biological clock. Sensible Jo finds herself throwing caution to the wind in a new relationship. Eve, who has been trying to ignore the worrying lump in her breast, feels helpless and out of control. And happy-go-lucky India is drawn to one of the victims of the accident, causing long-buried secrets to rise to the surface.

On a Beautiful Day is a novel about the startling and unexpected turns life can take. It’s about luck – good and bad – and about finding bravery and resilience when your world is in turmoil. Above all, it’s about friendship, togetherness and hope.

Full of emotion and insight - it really makes you think (Katie Fforde, bestselling author of A Summer at Sea)
This is about friendship and about being there for the ups, the downs and everything in between. It's warm, witty and wise
A new Lucy Diamond book is one of the happiest highlights of my calendar. On a Beautiful Day is a celebration of family, friendship and love and a poignant reminder to make the most of every day (Cathy Bramley, bestselling author of The Lemon Tree Cafe)

I always enjoy Lucy's books and this one didn't disappoint. We meet a group of close girl friends who each have their own issues to deal with and discover the best way to deal with them. The characters are all strong women in their own right but once they join forces, they can and do, deal with anything!
Well written with believable characters, this book has aspects that most women can relate to. Clare gives each one a unique voice so you know who this bit is about.
Nice little bonus feature at the end too!

Lucy Diamond delivers again!

This is not the type of book I'd usually go for but I'm so glad I listened to it. I felt like I made four new friends and was totally immersed in their worlds from the outset. The believable stories, lacking in the usual melodrama, made me think about my own life and relationships. This was a great book and I'll definitely be looking for more Lucy Diamond books in the future.

A lovely story of the lives of four women and it was beautifully read by Clare Willie. I listened to this book while in hospital and I became so involved with the stories and wanted to hear more. In my opinion you can’t get better than that!

An excellent listen
