About this listen

A love letter to the lives of older women, Whenever You're Ready is a moving and perceptive novel about three women searching for a way forward in the wake of a sudden loss.

An unexpected death finds Lizzie, Alice and Margot at various crossroads in their lives, torn between looking back and moving on.

Lizzie is reeling from a decades-old discovery that changes everything she thought she knew about her friends, her family and her marriage. Alice has always been the good-time girl, as charismatic presenting the weather on television as she is working as a life model. But decades of piecemeal gigs have left her with a safety net that is rapidly unravelling. Meanwhile, Lizzie's perfectionist daughter Margot is realising that, despite having built herself a faultlessly curated life, she hasn't put her troubled past behind her as neatly as she thought she had.

Whenever You're Ready is a sweetly wise and gently wistful novel about the secrets and seasons of three intertwined lives.

All stars

A coming of age story for mothers and daughters. Filled with wisdom, insight and hard earned lessons, yet subtle and nuanced, never didactic. I cried many times and felt for each of the women portrayed in the novel, each one imperfect yet perfect in their struggle towards happiness and self acceptance. Five stars without hesitation.
