About this listen

You're never too old to try something new!

When octogenarian Olive Turner is persuaded by her son to move into a retirement home, she congratulates herself on finding the secret to an easy life: no washing up, cooking or cleaning. But Olive isn't one for mindless bingo with her fellow residents, and before the first day is over she's already hatching a plan to escape back to her beloved beach hut and indulge in her secret passion for a very good gin & tonic.

Before long Olive's secret is out and turning into something wonderful and new. Only a select few are invited, but word spreads quickly about the weekly meetings of The Gin Shack Club. Soon everybody on the beach wants to become a gin connoisseur and join Olive on her journey to never being forced to grow older than you feel.

A journey of friendship, defiance and a quest for the perfect G & T.

This is a wonderful story...one of a rebellious ol' biddy of 84. I am nearly 75 and I am taking notes. I highly recommend this book. It will make you smile and also bring a tear. The narration is brilliant 😀

Good narrator interesting story. It struck a cord with the reality of reaching 80 and was a positive way of looking at change. Couldn’t stop listening.
