About this listen

From MILLION COPY BESTSELLING author of Five French Hens and The Old Girls' Network comes a story of two sisters in their golden years embarking on the holiday of a lifetime, to find love, friendship and new adventures.

Molly’s seventieth birthday comes as a shock. The woman in the mirror looks every day of those seventy years, but inside Molly feels she still has so much more living left to do. Widowed and living alone with her cat, Molly fears she is slipping into a cliché of old age.

When Molly’s sister Nell appears on her doorstep, distraught that her husband of more than forty years, Phil, has left her for a younger lover, the women decide to seize the day. By the morning, flights are booked, bags are packed, and they're off to Spain.

The sun, the sea, the new friends and the freedom are just the tonic for broken hearts and flagging souls. But even Spain isn’t enough to revive Molly’s spirit so she decides to head off for a solo journey to continue to chase the sun and to chase happiness. Will she find what she’s looking for in a new country, or will she discover that true contentment can’t be found on a map? But it might just be found in a new flame...

Judy Leigh is back, with her trademark spirit of joie de vivre, fun, warmth and timeless lessons in how to live. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber and Robyn Carr.

I really enjoyed this book, from start to finish. It was also beautifully & skilfully read by Phyllida Nash. She managed to do cope with numerous accents, as well as speaking male characters parts in conversation with the main character, Molly. I look forward to hearing/reading more of this author's work. Good fun!!

There's life in us old girls yet!!

A Good Listen

I like Phyllida Nash as a reviewer, so that’s a good start. The story is quite entertaining, but I found the main character to be rather self absorbed and thoughtless (and her sister wasn’t much better) so I didn’t really warm towards her. For example, pretending she could ride a horse (luckily it didn’t spoil it for her friend, but it could have), dropping a borrowed moped on the ground, and her behaviour towards others - which I won’t spell out as that would be a spoiler.

Quite enjoyable but won’t re-listen

you could believe the character as it builds into a pantomime of fun and frolics in destinations in the sun. well written with humour. I had several belly laughs as well as tears.

Well worth listening to again. loved it

Ok I know that is a strange review title but as I listened to this mostly in bed I could imagine myself there as Molly the narration was excellent. The writing so brilliantly detailed and what a delightful novel with twists and turns in every chapter. It was a book that I couldn’t immediately predict who would end up madly in love with whom. A delightful Novel that left me wanting more. Thank you Boldwood Books for introducing me to new authors.
