Perfect for you if...

  • You've been through a major life upheaval and need to see someone come out the other side with humour and grace.
  • You enjoy character-driven stories about women in their 50s+ who refuse to disappear when life changes.
  • You want a book that makes you laugh and cry, not a heavy literary slog.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for steamy romance or dramatic plot twists. This is grounded, realistic, and quiet in places.
  • You prefer fast-paced narratives. Anna's journey is introspective and requires patience.
  • You need a book without any melancholy. Grief and disappointment are woven throughout, even as hope builds.

About this book

Anna is in her fifties, living what she believes is a contented life with her husband David. Their children have grown and left home, and both work at the same school. During an ordinary walk with their Labrador, David announces he is leaving her for a colleague. Initially wanting to withdraw from the world, Anna is encouraged by her friend and daughter to move forward. She makes significant life changes: leaving her job, moving to a new house, and visiting her estranged sister in Australia. As she adjusts to being single again, Anna discovers inner strength she did not know she possessed. The novel follows Anna's journey as she rebuilds her life, exploring whether she can find new love and happiness or if she will remain alone.
