Sixty-nine-year-old Fliss has lived a life!
A career running her own successful business, a beautiful home, a wardrobe full of designer clothes ā Fliss has everything she ever wanted. So why does she feel so lonely?
Sixty-six-year-old Shirl didnāt expect to be looking after a baby again, let alone a grown woman who should know better. But with her daughter Gemma struggling to adapt to motherhood, and her boss Fliss increasingly reliant on Shirl to run her life, Shirl never gets a moment to herself.
Fliss might not be great at lifeās chores, but she is great at seizing opportunities, so when the chance for a jaunt to Franceās beautiful Brittany comes her way, she decides itās just what she and Shirl need. And as the sun-soaked town of Plouvannec-Sur-Mer begins to work its magic on the women, they realise thereās another way to live.
From cake-laden patisseries, to joyous local fetes, from food, views and beaches to die for, to a community quick to embrace them, not to mention some rather fine French men for company, perhaps itās not too late for Fliss and Shirl to embrace a new adventure and look forwards to a totally different future.
The perfect feel-good story from besteller Judy Leigh. A must read for all fans of Maddie Please, Dawn French and Caroline James.

āThis is another one of Judyās terrific reads that is more than thoroughly enjoyable. It's more than a story- it's perhaps a message to all of us about āCarpe Diemā and taking hold of life with both hands whilst we can. The characters are wonderful and leap from the page like old friendsā āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø Reader Review

āIāve loved every one of the authorās contemporary second chance romances, but I really think I might have found my new favourite. The characters were simply wonderful and soon found their places in my heart, their wealth of life experience and paths to future happiness so very easy to identify with, and the whole story had a warmth and lightness of touch that I found totally adorableā āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø Reader Review
