About this audiobook
'A fizzing feel-good read about living in the moment' Sun
'If you want fiction that warms your cockles whilst simultaneously making them shake with laughter, then The Gin O'Clock Club is the book for you.' Isabelle Broom, author of My Map of You
'Touching and hilarious' Jilly Cooper

Bring the sparkle and fizz back into your life with the help of The Gin O'Clock Club
Lottie is always in a hurry, rushing through her days ticking tasks off her to-do lists. Teddy is worried about his granddaughter - and he knows that his late wife, Lily, would have known exactly what to say to make things better. Now that Lily has gone, it's up to Teddy to talk some sense into Lottie.
With the help of Arjun, Geoffrey and Howard, the elderly reprobates who make up his Gin O'Clock Club, Teddy makes a plan to help Lottie find her way back to the things that really matter - family, friendship and love. But as Lottie balances a high-powered job with her reluctant attendance at whist drives, ballroom dances and bingo, Teddy wonders if she's really ready to open up her heart to the possibility of true happiness...
Laugh, cry and fall in love with this colourful cast of characters in THE feel-good novel of the year
