About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One by Raphaelle Giordano, read by Fiona Hardingham.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: 2 million copies sold worldwide! A charming, feel-good and universal story of one woman’s journey from boredom and dissatisfaction to happiness and fulfilment - if you liked The Happiness Project, The Little Paris Bookshop or Eat, Pray, Love, you'll love this.

At thirty-eight and a quarter years old, Camille has everything she needs to be happy, or so it seems: a good job, a loving husband, a wonderful son. Why then does she feel as if happiness has slipped through her fingers? All she wants is to find the path to joy.

When Claude, a French Sean Connery lookalike and routinologist, offers his unique advice to help get her there, she seizes the opportunity with both hands. Camille’s journey is full of surprising adventures, creative capers and deep meaning, as she sets out to transform her life and realize her dreams one step at a time . . .

REAL READERS LOVE IT:

'Feel good book! Would definitely recommend!'

'Great book for 40-somethings wanting a change of direction'

'I'm loving it. Instead of just being a self-help book on well-being or mindfulness, you're actually seeing life through Camille's eyes, learning practical lessons alongside her.'

'Loved it!!'

'Perfect.'

Critic reviews

It's obvious why this charming book - funny, sweet and not without a few important happy-life tips - hit number one abroad
Raphaëlle Giordano teaches us how to come up for air and to fall in love with life. We say yes!
A delicious feel-good novel
A funny, entertaining novel full of tenderness that can help you get your new life off the ground. To be read as soon as possible
This charming novel is perfect for anyone who feels they aren’t living the life they could be. Plus, once you’re finished, you can gaze lovingly at the cover, which is basically the motivational poster your desk needs.
A delightful read. Irresistible!
A one-sitting read, because we all resemble Camille to some degree, and we'd all love to do what she does. So what if we gave it a go...?
A publishing phenomenon

Not an overly complicated, but relatable story with good self-help tips.
The only thing I don't understand is why the french accent for the characters? Sure, it takes place in France and the characters are french, but they are presumably speaking french, which is their native toungue and just because it's been translated it shouldn't give them an accent in their "native toungue".
Other than that it's an overall nice listen.

Simple, but nice
