About this listen

A heartfelt story from Saturday Kitchen's Helen McGinn!

'Packed full of emotional wisdom, heartbreak and hope. Wonderful — I loved it' Daily Mail

A story about friends, sisters, motherhood and starting again – one day at a time...

Stella fell in love with Simon hard and fast. He was everything she wanted in a husband, and he seemed to feel the same way about her. More than a decade of marriage later, life is sweet. They have three much-wanted children, a successful business, and a comfortable London home. What more could Stella possibly want?

But then, out of the blue, Simon is gone. Vanished. No one knows where he’s gone or why.

Now Stella, with the help of her friends and family, has to pick up the pieces of her and her children’s life, all the while wondering what she missed. Was her husband who he said he was, and can she trust her own memories of their life together?

Helen McGinn’s latest novel is a love story to friendship, sisters, motherhood and starting again – one day at a time. Perfect for fans of Elizabeth Noble, Cathy Kelly and JoJo Moyes.

Very enjoyable book. Descriptive, a little sad but overall heartwarming. Everyone needs friends in their life to get them through tough times.

This was the first Helen McGinn book I have listened too.

Because Helen always appears upper class when she has spoken, I thought I might find this book a bit of "FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS" throughout the listen but I didn't judge the book by its cover or class and purchased it anyway.

It was good, it was about a husband and Dad that walks out of their lives without mentioning why or if he would like to ever see his kids again!

It felt like a strong, female empowering book as Stella thinks she can't go on without him at first but her family and friends rally around to show her that she is strong.

The narrator did her job well at voicing all of the characters.

Yes I do recommend this listen and I bought it in the sale but I wouldn't use a credit on it🌠

NICE LISTEN 3 STARS 🌟🌟🌟
