Discover a BRAND NEW warm, witty and relatable read from Celia Anderson, BESTSELLING author of A New Lease of Life.

'Celia Anderson's characters leap from the page in her beautifully observed stories.' Sue Moorcroft

Violet has discovered it’s never too late to fall in love – or worry about risking your heart. At seventy, she’s in a new relationship with handsome neighbour Iggy. But letting herself believe in their future is another matter…

Her best friend Marigold – independent, adventurous and keen to enjoy life on her own terms – is perfectly happy being single. So, dipping a toe into online dating is surely just a bit of harmless fun…

Meanwhile in their coastal village there’s a triple wedding to prepare for; an unexpected spark ignites between two unlikely people; and The Seaside Singles’ Club embarks on a brand-new creative venture. It’s a timely reminder that retirement can be the beginning of something wonderful.

With friends old and new beside them, Violet and Marigold soon prove that growing older doesn’t mean settling down quietly. Sometimes the next chapter is the one that takes you most by surprise…

A heartwarming, gloriously feelgood story of friendship, second chances and finding happiness on your own terms.
