The Australian bestseller about the pleasures and perils of retirement from the beloved author of The Tea Ladies of St Jude's Hospital
'Her best yet . . . a wonderful read about growing older and grabbing hold of life' Weekend Australian
'An intriguing, warm-hearted novel challenging age stereotypes' The Australian Women's Weekly
'Warm, insightful and funny . . . celebrates, so well, the treasures that life's later stages can hold' DIANNE YARWOOD
Husband and wife GPs Alan and Heather Winterbottom have worked side by side in their idyllic rural practice for over forty years but now they've decided to hang up their stethoscopes and retire. Joy! Celebration! Or not . . . Heather dreams of exploring the Greek Islands, of escaping the shackles of her routine life. 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. But could what's waiting for her back in Netherwood be Heather's biggest adventure yet?
'Brightly written with smart, snappy dialogue and some nice servings of humour' Canberra Weekly
'Takes the reader on a wholesome and hilarious journey from the organic garden beds of Dorset to the sun-kissed islands of Greece . . . this is a story that will leave you smiling' ALI LOWE
'Delightful . . . This is an author who never disappoints. Her gentle intelligence is evident in everything she writes . . . Her observations of the human condition are perspicacious but kind, humorous but never mocking' Living Arts Canberra
'Full of wit' Who Magazine
'A laugh-out-loud holiday read that will make your heart swell' TRACEY SPICER
