About this listen

A life-affirming, poignant story of two women with nothing in common except their friendship - from Number One bestselling author Roisin Meaney.

Perfect for listeners of Cathy Kelly and Sheila O'Flanagan.

The friendship starts with a letter...from aspiring writer Sarah to blunt but witty journalist Helen, complaining about Helen's most recent book review. And there begins a correspondence that blossoms into a friendship which spans over two decades.

As the years pass, the women exchange details of loves lost and found, of family joys and upheavals. Sarah's letters filled with thoughts on her outwardly perfect marriage and her aching desire for children, and Helen's on the struggle of raising her young daughter alone.

But little do they realise that their story began long before Sarah penned that first letter - on one unforgettable afternoon when Sarah changed the course of Helen's life forever.

This is the story of Helen and Sarah, and the friendship that was part of their destiny.

Wonderful story

I loved it, and didn't want it to end, and then it did and I was sad. I wish it had ended a little differently but it didn't detract from the overall pleasure of listening to it. I loved the voice of the lady who read it too.

This was a joy to listen to. Admittedly, it took a chapter or 2 to get into, but then, as the characters and story develops, you get sucked in. The narrator perfectly captured the characters and feel of the story.

Lovely story, beautifully narrated
