About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Us Three written and read by Ruth Jones, co-creator of Gavin & Stacey and author of the smash-hit, number one bestselling debut, Never Greener.

Friends forever is a difficult promise to keep...

Meet Lana, Judith and Catrin. Best friends since primary school when they swore an oath on a Curly Wurly wrapper that they would always be there for each other, come what may.

After the trip of a lifetime, the three girls are closer than ever. But an unexpected turn of events shakes the foundation of their friendship to its core, leaving their future in doubt - there's simply too much to forgive, let alone forget. An innocent childhood promise they once made now seems impossible to keep....

Packed with all the heart and empathy that made Ruth's name as a screenwriter and now author, Us Three is a funny, moving and uplifting novel about life's complications, the power of friendship and how it defines us all. Prepare to meet characters you'll feel you've known all your life - prepare to meet Us Three.

Critic Reviews

Jones's trademark warmth and humour suffuse the novel with comedy and pathos, making for a heart-warming, entertaining and, at times, deeply moving story
A poignant novel about friendship and forgiveness . . . with fantastic characterisation, as you'd expect from the co-creator of Gavin & Stacey, it's an epic journey
Us Three is a warm, smart, uplifting tale of true friendship. I loved Lana, Catrin and Judith - I was genuinely sad to leave them when I turned the final page.
A touching celebration of the beauty and endurance of female friendship. There is nothing mightier. Fact.
This novel oozes warmth and honesty. A big-hearted book that provides a cast of characters you'll lose your heart to.
This moving story of three Welsh friends-for-life . . . balances warmth and humour with bleakness and despair. Another winner for Gavin and Stacey star Jones
A funny, moving and uplifting novel
A funny and warm tale of friendship
I loved spending time immersed in Catrin, Judith and Lana's lives . . . A contender for my Books of the Year list
A wonderfully warm, funny, totally engrossing and unputdownable novel about friendship. A gorgeous treat.
