Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

Veronica McCreedy is about to have the journey of a lifetime....

Veronica McCreedy lives in a mansion by the sea. She loves a nice cup of Darjeeling tea whilst watching a good wildlife documentary. And she’s never seen without her ruby-red lipstick.

Although these days, Veronica is rarely seen by anyone, because at 85, her days are spent mostly at home, alone.

She can be found either collecting litter from the beach (‘people who litter the countryside should be shot’), trying to locate her glasses (‘someone must have moved them’) or shouting instructions to her assistant, Eileen (‘Eileen, door!’).

Veronica doesn’t have family or friends nearby. Not that she knows about, anyway.... And she has no idea where she’s going to leave her considerable wealth when she dies.

But today...today, Veronica is going to make a decision that will change all of this.

Wow, what a good one! I really enjoyed listening to this book which was so vividly brought to life by three very talented narrators. I strongly recommend.

I enjoyed the audio book. I was looking for a light but interesting story and this did the trick. The book is not without substance, however. The messages that "books should not be judged by their cover" and that it is in everybody's reponsibility to save the planet and make the earth a better place clearly come across. This is done in a natural (and mostly subtle) way throughout the story. I also thoroughly enjoyed the different perspectives and characters as they are very different from my own life. All in all a nice story if you want to escape from everyday life for a short time.

Lovely story

…, beautiful reading - loved Nicolette McKenzie especially… Everything in it for a good and touching story - uplifting and at the same time funny and educational too.

Wonderful, heartwarming, energizing …
