About this listen

A life-affirming story from million-copy bestselling author Amanda Prowse about having it all, losing it all, and how new friends can show each other the way back to happiness.

With kids to look after, an ailing mother and a neglected husband, life is full for Emma Fountain—too full, she realises, when she wakes up in IKEA after falling asleep in one of the show beds. Only her crazy, funny best friend Roz keeps her sane. But when Roz climbs in through her bathroom window one day to deliver terrible news, Emma’s belief that she can find a way around any obstacle crumbles in the face of a problem she just can’t fix.

For recently widowed Thurston, life without his beloved wife of sixty-two years has lost all its joy and sense of purpose. That is until he finds himself driving his niece to work one day and meets Emma, whose busy days are the opposite of his own. As Thurston is drawn into the whirlwind of Emma’s chaotic life, and as his calming influence starts to bring her troubles into perspective, an unlikely friendship grows.

In a world where grief is the price we pay for love, can two very different people realise that the little things in life are precious, that love is all around us, and that, even after all, they might still be very, very lucky?

I finished this book too soon, couldn’t stop listening. It was tender, laugh out loud funny and full of characters I grew to love.
I share much with the protagonist, including her name, my husband identified with Brendan when I read out some pieces, he confirms I am an arsehole at times. ( I know he is, but what am I)
Brilliant, entertaining story, full of every different kind of love.
I urge everyone to treat themselves to a wonderful listen. It will lift your heart and for a while make you forget your worries.

A beautiful story of love, life and loss

Each character was so well imagined and I wanted the best for all of them. I am normally a dark, psychological thriller kind of girl, but I loved having a little joy for once. Cried twice….enough said

Utterly wonderful

My first Amanda Prowse book and I absolutely loved it! A wonderful story of love, life and loss, mixed with the perfect amount of humour. It was perfect. I really hope there's a second book to continue Emma and Thurston's story.
