About this listen

Lizzie has always had bad luck. Losing her heart to her boss leads to her losing her job, and with no money in the bank Lizzie finds herself forced to move back home with her parents.

Now in her 90s, Mrs Dallimore is also coming to terms with her situation. Old age is finally catching up with her. As they form the bond of unexpected friendship, Lizzie begins to realise that she's not the only person to attract bad luck and that sometimes life has a way of surprising you....

Every so often you come across an audio book that you just can't turn off and this is one of them! Erica James writes a beautiful story that jumps from past to present seamlessly.
We hear about the life of an elderly lady with much to tell to her new young friend in the care home, who in turn has her own issues to deal with!
Genevieve Swallow does an excellent job reading this book with a variety of appropriate voices for the characters and darn good Americans accents too.
Alway enjoy Erica's story telling and this one is excellent, was so sad when it finished. Can we have the next instalment in the story please?
