About this listen

What do you do if you’ve been married to a man for half your life and out of nowhere he leaves your bed – permanently? When this happens to Jeanie, she’s furious and determined to confront George, her husband of thirty years. Is he in love with someone else? What did she do wrong? He won’t tell her. The brightest day of her week is Thursday; the day Jeanie takes her granddaughter to the park. There, one day, she meets Ray, kind, easy to talk to, and gorgeous – he is everything George isn’t. But does she have the courage, while facing opposition from all sides, to turn her life upside down for another shot at love?

Following well over 100,000 ebook sales, celebrated actress Joanna David brings Hilary Boyd's heart-warming romance to life.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this delightful and sensitively portrayed tale of mature love and compassion and the narration is brilliant

A love story with a difference.

This is the sort of audiobook that is an easy listen, that you can enjoy whilst doing something else. Not too taxing. It is an easy to follow, but not predictable story.

I enjoyed it. The narration is good and absorbing.

This is a love story essentially, but not soppy.

Perfect for a Walk in the Park

What made the experience of listening to Thursdays in the Park the most enjoyable?

This book had the amazing skill of letting you feel the main characters emotions! Not often seen and this was a real pleasure!

What other book might you compare Thursdays in the Park to, and why?

I've never read anything like it, it shows how many people can be downtrodden in a strange kind of way, yet shows the strength that everyone has.

A story told by someone who "knows" how this feels

What does Joanna David bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The story is told with a genuine sincerity rarely ever heard. Not once did I feel she was reading the story, but actually telling "her" story... Quite magical in a hum drum kind of way.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Every time the discussion of "moving" I felt her desperation

Any additional comments?

Wonderful, not a book I would normally pick... Thank you audible for your offers that get me to try something new

Thoroughly enjoyed this book
