A Grand Old Time

audioboek


A funny and heartwarming debut for fans of Celia Imrie and Dawn French.

Evie Gallagher is regretting her hasty move into a care home. She may be seventy-five and recently widowed, but sheā€™s absolutely not dead yet. And so, one morning, Evie walks out of Sheldon Lodge and sets off on a Great Adventure across Europe.

But not everyone thinks Great Adventures are appropriate for women of Evieā€™s age, least of all her son Brendan and his wife Maura, who follow a trail of puzzling text messages to bring her home.

When they finally catch up with her, there are shocks in store . . . because while Brendan may have given up on life and love, Evie certainly has not.

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

ā€™Brimming with warmth, humour and a love of lifeā€¦ a wonderful escapadeā€™ Fiona Gibson, bestselling author ofThe Woman Who Upped and Left

The Ginger Book Geekā€˜I absolutely loved everything about this bookā€¦ 5* out of 5*ā€™

Being Anneā€˜By its end Iā€™d laughed, cringed, felt really concerned, giggled, cried (rather a lot) and emerged into the rosier future with a heart broken, mended, and singing with joyā€™

Dash Fanā€˜5 stars! I Loved Evie . . . She has a Passion and Zest for lifeā€¦ I want to go travelling with her! . . . If you read one book that is a little different this month let it be A Grand Old Time! You won't regret It!ā€™

ā€˜Brilliantly funny, emotional and upliftingā€™ Miranda Dickinson
