About this listen
Escape to the Lakes with million-copy bestseller Jessica Redland for a BRAND NEW uplifting story of friendship and second chances
Every book in the Escape to the Lakes Series can be read as a standalone
It's never too late to find yourself...
When she unexpectedly loses her husband, Yvonne Kellerman's world turns quiet and grey. Five years on, her days are filled with the gentle chatter of her loyal parrot, Trevor, and the comfort of her crafting table—but she can't shake the feeling that life is slipping her by and Yvonne feels lost and lonelier than ever.
When she joins the local crafting club at Willowdale Village Hall, Yvonne expects nothing more than a few afternoons of sewing. Instead, amongst the other local crafters, she discovers friendship, laughter and a renewed appreciation for her gorgeous Lake District home. It's a reminder that she isn't alone and, with each new stitch, her confidence returns, and so does her belief that it's never too late for fresh starts and new beginnings.
When a familiar face from her past reappears, Yvonne finds herself standing at a crossroads: will she protect her heart, or embrace the chance to love—and truly live—again?
A heartwarming story of friendship, courage, and second chances by the million copy bestseller Jessica Redland.
©2026 Jessica Redland (P)2026 Boldwood BooksWhat I liked the most about this one is most romances or similar books are based on younger characters so it was nice to have slightly older characters with life experience as the last two escape to the lakes books have had. It proves two things 1 no matter how old you are you can still have issues and 2 it’s never to late to find someone to be happy with no matter your age. They are the two main lessons this book has taught me. As a single man in my early 40s I’ve often thought it’s not lightly to happen for me however books like this prove to me that maybe one day it will and it’s just going to happen when or if it’s meant to.
Yvonne Kellerman is a lady approaching 60 who has been alone for the last 5 years after the loss of her husband Cliff. She spends all her time crafting and in the company of her Parrot Trevor however when she sees an advertisement for a crafting club in the village news letter she decides to give it a go as she realises the need to have some human interaction. As she starts to build friendships through the club her world opens up, when she reconnects with someone from her past will she allow her heart to open and give herself a second chance at love?
That is the basic plot of the book, I try and make all my reviews spoiler free and all this is pretty much in the main blurb so wrote my own description based on that as if I think I can do it justice without giving main aspects of the book away I like to do that rather than keep pasting the book description as I think it’s good when reviewing to use my own words to describe what the book is about.
I loved Yvonne as a character and as I learned more about her through the book I liked her even more. The way she grew throughout the novel was amazing due to joining the crafting club and embracing journelling, that is something I have tried myself in the past however never been able to keep it up so this year my aim is to work on trying to go deeper into the books I’m reading rather than saying simply weather I liked or disliked the book. I could relate a lot to Yvonne because although I’ve not lost a spouse I did lose a friend back in April who meant a lot to me and it was hard for me to continue with my normal activities for a while however I pushed through and did because I knew it was what she’d want.
I loved the supporting characters in the crafting club who ended up being Yvonnes friendship group and how all of them supported each other. It was also lovely to see characters from previous books make appearances as well.
Seeing all the characters grow and deal with changes in their lives was lovely and the way they all supported and helped each other was amazing and wonderful to read about. I also related to Yvonne because of her playing the Piano as I enjoy it myself although I’m no where near the standard Yvonne was. It was lovely to see her redeveloping that interest after so long.
I also really liked Will as a character, the only thing that was a bit sad is the fact he came into the book quite late however despite this his character was very well developed and I loved the way he and Yvonne supported each other. One thing I liked about the characters the most in this book was their loyalty and lack of judgement.
I can’t wait for the other 3 books coming out by this author this year and I’m looking forward to the new setting we’re going to be having a series in. I have fallen in love with the characters in this series and have enjoyed every single book.
Rebecca Norfolk who has been the main audio book narrator for this series was again fantastic, she gave all the characters their own voice and her narration style really suits these types of books. As someone who is totally blind and prefers to read audio books having a good narrator is key as how they portray the book can have a big impact as to weather I enjoy it or not.
Another wonderful book by a fantastic author.
