About this listen

Linda returns in this, second installment of the Life Begins at Forty-Eight series. This time she is faced with making preparations for her mother to come out of hospital and introducing Tim to her family. Together, they also take on flat-packed furniture.

Patience is a Virtue is a short story by C H Clepitt, jam packed with humor. It is also moving and heartwarming. By the time the story is finished you will feel you really know the characters, and will want to know what happens next.

This book follows on nicely from book 1, so you do need to listen to that one first. This follows the story on perfectly with Linda still in love with the local vicar and trying to sort her mother out for when she is released from hospital

great second book
