This book was suggested to me a while ago but it took me a year to get around to it as I needed to be back on the Isle of Wight to read it. It was a delight to pick this up whilst on holiday and read about familiar places, prickly characters and a bit of mystery. It’s a really easy and almost cosy read, with serious issues inter-woven amongst funny moments and the chilly backdrop of a December on the Island. There were slightly darker moments but equally brilliant lighter moments and it was an uplifting read by the end of the novel.
About the Book
It’s never too late to change the habits of a lifetime…
Evelyn Pringle isn’t the sort to make rash decisions. Or any decisions, really – she’s always left that sort of thing up to her husband. But he’s been found dead, wearing his best suit, with a diamond ring in his pocket that doesn’t fit her. When Evelyn finds a letter addressed to a woman on the Isle of Wight, she decides to deliver it. By hand.
So begins a very unusual holiday, and an adventure no one could have predicted – least of all Evelyn herself. With the help of some unexpected new friends, and a little effort on her part, Evelyn discovers that it’s never too late to have a second chance at life and forge friendships that are well-worth living for.
