About this title

About the Author:

Elise Darcy grew up in North London in the 1970's, the daughter of two baby boomer school teachers. Her love of books began at an early age when trips to Regent's Park always culminated in a visit to Foyles, the legendary independent bookstore in Charing Cross Road. She has fond memories of exploring a veritable Aladdin’s cave of books; a magical place with winding staircases, old creaking lifts, and cosy corners in which to settle down and lose herself in a good book. After university Elise Darcy worked in London before embarking on her writing career. She now lives in an apartment in a picturesque market town in Suffolk where she writes her novels.

Review:

"An absolutely hilarious book about a couple beginning retirement. Thoroughly enjoyable, and completely realistic. The adjustment to retirement is difficult, especially when you are not quite ready for it, but it pounces on you anyway. Totally enjoyable read. I couldn't put it down." - MJ Chivers 

"I loved the book. Well written and made me laugh in places. Some men are so overpowering that you have to be sneaky to get what you want. I loved Sylvie and I can understand why she did what she did. John just does not listen and does not care to listen! Can't wait to start the next book on these two." - Faye 
 
"Very realistic book about an aging marriage. The characters are believable and charming. I found myself sympathizing with their dilemmas. It was a quick and enjoyable read." - AvidReader 
 
"Loved the way the characters came together. It was so funny in places I shook with laughter. As I read this book it was so easy to visualize the characters and situations. The only thing was the ending. It left you with wanting more and wondering WHATS NEXT?" - Wanda

"Light and fun. Easy reading. Great for a lazy afternoon. Started off a bit slow, but finally took off and went quickly from there. Now I want the second book!" - D Barr
