Publisher's Summary

'Judy’s done it again. Every woman over a certain age should read this wonderful book' Jennifer Bohnet

Deep in the Somerset countryside, the Combe Pomeroy village library hosts a monthly book club.

Ruth the librarian fears she’s too old to find love, but a discussion about Lady Chatterley’s Lover makes her think again.

Aurora doesn’t feel seventy-two and longs to relive the excitement of her youth, while Verity is getting increasingly tired of her husband Mark’s grumpiness and wonders if their son’s imminent flight from the nest might be just the moment for her to fly too. And Danielle is fed up with her cheating husband. Surely life has more in store for her than to settle for second best?

The glue that holds Combe Pomeroy together is Jeannie. Doyenne of the local cider farm and heartbeat of her family and community, no one has noticed that Jeannie needs some looking after too. Has the moment for her to retire finally arrived, and if so, what does her future hold?

From a book club French exchange trip, to many celebrations at the farm, this is the year that everything changes, that lifelong friendships are tested, and for some of the women, they finally get the love they deserve.

Judy Leigh is back with her unmistakable recipe of friendship and fun, love and laughter. The perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Dawn French, Dee Macdonald and Cathy Hopkins.

A little disappointing

I’ve loved all Judy’s books but I’m sad to say that I found this one a little disappointing. The audio quality was quite poor as well which didn’t help. However, I’m looking forward to starting Judy’s latest book, The Silver Ladies Do Lunch.

Some of it was gone

It would have been better if chapter 34 had been included. Where was it and what happened! ?
Otherwise wwell written and loved the picturesque discriminations of places visited. It felt as if I was there with the characters
