About this listen
The heartwarming and hilarious new novel by the author of cherished best sellers, The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village and The Great Escape from Woodlands Nursing Home.
The Marjorie Marshall Memorial Cafeteria has been serving refreshments and raising money at the hospital for over 50 years, long after anybody can remember who Marjorie Marshall actually was. Staffed by successive generations of dedicated volunteers, the beloved cafeteria is known as much for offering a kind word and sympathetic ear (and often unsolicited life advice) as for its tea and buns.
Stalwart Hilary has worked her way up through the ranks to Manageress; Joy has been late every day since she started as the cafeteria's newest recruit. She doesn't take her role as 'the intern' quite as seriously as Hilary would like but there's no doubt she brings a welcome pop of personality. Seventeen-year-old Chloe, the daughter of two successful surgeons, is volunteering during the school holidays because her mother thinks it will look good on her CV.
Chloe is at first bewildered by the two older women but soon realises they have a lot in common, not least that each bears a secret pain. When they discover the cafeteria is under threat of closure, this unlikely trio must band together to save it.

A nice feel good story
It is a good little Australian story about the lives of everyday people and about life and death. I loved the writing pattern and the audio reading was great. Looking for more the posters by this author

Enjoyable and entertaining on a long drive
The author is a keen observer and describes her characters with a lot of humour. Especially the old ladies come alive!

Not my cup of tea
Book club read.
As sweet as the cover looks and it sounded. It just wasn’t my thing. Long and boring. But many ladies rated it well for the book club.
