The Silver Ladies Do Lunch - A BRAND NEW feel-good novel from Judy Leigh, author of The Golden Oldies' Book Club, for summer 2023 (Unabridged)

When Lin, Josie and Minnie left Miss Hamilton's class at Middleton Ferris County Primary School, sixty years ago, they could only dream about what the future had in store for them. The one thing they knew for certain was that their friendship would thrive.

Years later and life hasn't always been kind. Josie is still mourning the loss of her beloved husband Harry a year after his sudden demise. Lin is hoping to celebrate her fiftieth wedding anniversary with husband Neil, but he's suddenly keeping secrets and telling her lies, so she's suspecting the worst And as for Minnie, well she loves her life in Oxford academia, but with no family to call her own, she sometimes wonders if the sacrifices were all worthwhile.

So, when the ninety-year-old Miss Hamilton - or Cecily as she lets them call her now - glides gracefully back into their lives on her glamorous purple mobility scooter, the ladies are in need of inspiration and fun. And over their regular lunches, the friends start to dream of leaving the past in the past and embracing the future, because there's nothing you can't achieve with good friends at your side.

Judy Leigh is back with the perfect blend of fun and friendship, capers and caring. The perfect feel-good story for all fans of Dawn French, Dee Macdonald and Cathy Hopkins.

Readers love Judy Leigh:

'I have been a fan of Judy's work for quite a while now. I love the way in which she writes such fun, feel good, heart-warming and uplifting stories.'

'The Golden Oldies' Book Club is an entertaining read, written with warmth, humour and a message not to let chances slip by. Themes of friendship, community and navigating life and its opportunities run throughout.'

'A lovely warm read about family and closeness. This author never disappoints, always a joy to find one of her books which I haven't read.'

'Such a good read. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and their lives as we are gradually introduced. It's refreshing to have a cast of older characters in the lead - reminds everyone that life isn't over when you reach middle age and beyond.'

'A captivating cosy read written with warmth and humour-friendship, emotion, love, joy, and laughter are abundant throughout the pages of this wonderful story.'

Praise for Judy Leigh:

'Brilliantly funny, emotional and uplifting' Miranda Dickinson

'Lovely . . . a book that assures that life is far from over at seventy' Cathy Hopkins bestselling author of The Kicking the Bucket List

'Brimming with warmth, humour and a love of life... a wonderful escapade' Fiona Gibson
