About this listen

*The Sunday Times bestseller*

Sometimes it takes a lifetime to find where you truly belong…

Seventy-nine is too late for a second chance. Isn’t it?

Missy Carmichael is prickly, stubborn – and terribly lonely. Until a chance encounter in the park with two very different women opens the door to something new. Something wonderful.

Missy was used to her small, solitary existence, listening to her footsteps echoing around the empty house, the tick-tick-tick of the watching clock. After all, she had made her life her way.

Now another life is beckoning to Missy – if she’s brave enough…

‘A touching, deftly written debut that celebrates community and kindness’ Sunday Times

‘Moving and optimistic… will delight readers right up to the very last page’ Stylist

Memorable forever, I think

I won't forget this book for a long time. Millicent, you aren't too keen on her first and then she grows on you gradually as the story unfolds.
I've laughed a few times but I really did cry at a certain point. I wouldn't say as that would really spoil things
However give this book a try, you won't regret it

Loved it!

Just brilliant, heart warming, devastatingly sad.
Listened to various parts more than once. The narrator is absolutely fantastic - makes the audio.

Nice easy listening book

Lovely, gentle, poignant, funny, sad and easy to listen to.
I would say it's more suitable for the older generation as Missy is 79yrs old. It's a lovely story which comes full circle with a few little surprises along the way. There's one little part in it that made me really cry..... you'll know which I mean when you come to it!!!
Very good 👍
