About this listen

The brilliantly observed, witty and heart-warming new book club read from Richard & Judy bestseller Linda Green

'Wonderfully executed, unique, clever and hilarious... Linda Green is absolutely at the top of her game. An absolute gem of a book!' Mike Gayle

Alexa knows your family better than you do. Now you're about to get to know her...

Fifty-two-year-old Michelle Banks is struggling to keep all the plates spinning. She’s a perimenopausal district nurse, caring for elderly parents. Her husband is wasting their money on children’s TV memorabilia, her teenage daughter is riddled with anxiety and her sixteen-year-old son is behaving secretively.

Alexa is the only one who knows how much Michelle is juggling. Listening in via four smart speakers, she also knows that it’s about to get even worse.

So, when Michelle pleads for help from the woman with all the answers, Alexa decides to go rogue and reveal her true identity as Pauline – a sixty-five-year-old former voiceover artist from Halifax – to teach Michelle everything she knows…

Wise, funny, relatable and inspiring, The Woman With All The Answers is perfect for fans of Clare Pooley, Mike Gayle and David Nicholls.

'I loved this funny, poignant and utterly original novel - a unique and brilliant portrayal of the muddle and messiness of modern family life' Fiona Gibson

'It just sings off the page with humour and insight. It is uniquely funny and very moving.' Susan Lewis

'I don’t think I could have loved this book more! Linda Green’s characters have such personality and warmth that they soon feel like friends. It’s a wonderful book I know many people will relate to.' Kate Storey

'An audacious premise, great characterisation, compelling storytelling and family dramas that just kept spiralling!' Tracy Rees

'A super smart concept played out in a hugely enjoyable way. Heart-warming, relatable and ever so funny. Brilliant!' Kate Galley

I really didn’t know what to expect from this brilliant book and there isn’t much I can say without spoiling it for readers. Listen to it you won’t be disappointed

Very unexpected

Sometimes I feel like the only person who listens to me in my house is Alexa so this book reflects that and in such a humorous way that it is entertaining and fun. The voices of the characters make it feel real. Very enjoyable.

Loved the characters and how true some of the life issues are.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it had me from the start. I loved the way the listener got to know the different characters as the book went on, and the whole family dynamic. It also portrayed how difficult it is for women in the ‘sandwich’ period of their lives, something I could relate to, this was done in a funny way at times but also done in a serious way- so therefore not making light of it- likewise women going through peri-menopause.
It really is a lovely book and my only question is where can I get a ‘Pauline’?!

Best book I’ve listened to in a long time!

Loved the concept of this story. Like to believe it’s true! Wish the voice of Michelle and Pauline had been slightly different from each other as I got slightly confused sometimes.

What a fun listen

I listen to hundreds of audio books a year about everything. This one was something easy to listen to while I went on a hill hike. Turns out it's one of the best I ever listened to, hence 5 stars across the board. Highly recommend 👍

I want a Pauline

Another great book from Linda Green, brilliant from start to finish - can’t wait for the next!

Gripping, relatable, easy read.

As an audio book, this was truly horrible. Is the kid called Liv or Liz? The narrator wasn't sure, as it switched about.
I expect as a physical book it wouldnt be any better because the story is ridiculous, but at least you wouldn't hear the narrator's ridiculous attempt at a Yorkshire accent.
Utter drivel.

thought it would never finish
