Publisher's Summary
The gloriously funny comfort read from the author of A Grand Old Time
You’re never too old to live dangerously…
All Georgie Turner wants is to keep her family together. But with her daughter growing up fast, her sister married to a man Georgie hates, and their aging aunt getting more and more outrageous, nothing’s simple.
So when her brother-in-law makes his biggest mistake yet, Georgie sees the chance to reunite the ladies in her life. And after a little persuasion, three generations of Turner women head off on a very unusual road trip. Georgie’s confident that some sun, sea and a bottle or two of prosecco will make this an adventure they’ll never forget.
What could possibly go wrong?
A gorgeously fun and uplifting novel about living your life to the full, whatever your age. Perfect for fans of Dawn French and Fern Britton.

Just average.
Enjoyed Judy Leighs ‘Five French Hens more. The characters in this one were a little annoying.

Not for me.
If this was the first book I had read by Judy Leigh, I may not have read the others. I found this book probably three hours too long with lots of unnecessary detail that didn’t lend itself to the story… it became very irritating. “I walked into the bathroom the dabbed cream on my face..? my hair combed my hair, etc. incidental things like … go on, of no consequence to the character or book~ throughout the the book. Nan’s pronunciation of different words initially amusing ~ then grating~ alongside and the gentle chuckles of those around her again that goes on and on ~ felt very in authentic, as did the references the older person staining the furniture as a mild amusement - on and on. I am sure there are others out there who will enjoy ~ I know this sounds a bit harsh ~ but having enjoyed several other books by JL ~ I’m being authentic 🙏
