About this ebook
'Laugh-out-loud funny but also thought-provoking, heart-warming and uplifting' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Wonderfully witty and wise, funny and poignant... Made me want a gap year too!' Fiona Gibson
It's never too late for the adventure of a lifetime . . .
Heather Winterbottom has worked side by side with her husband as GPs in their idyllic rural practice for over forty years. But as the time comes to hang up their stethoscopes, the Winterbottoms discover that they have rather different visions of retirement . . .
Heather dreams of exploring the Greek Islands, of escaping the shackles of her routine life and embracing an exciting new adventure. Alan dreams of growing his own vegetables.
When things come to a head at a family lunch, Heather announces that she has decided to take a year off. From her old life, from her marriage - from Alan.
Alone in beautiful Greece, Heather embarks on her very own odyssey - complete with peak experiences, pitfalls and temptations. But what if coming home is the biggest adventure yet?
Full of wisdom and warmth, this is a gorgeously poignant, hilarious story about how it is never too late to forge a new path. Fans of Judy Leigh, Jill Mansell and Sally Page will be hooked from the very first page.
