Über diesen Titel
USA Today Best Seller!
"One adorably British odd couple ... Charming." (People)
“An exquisitely poignant tale of life, friendship and facing death ... heart-breaking yet ultimately uplifting .. Everyone should read this book.” (Ruth Hogan, author of Queenie Malone’s Paradise Hotel)
Infused with the emotional power of Me Before You and the irresistible charm of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and Be Frank with Me, a moving and joyous novel about an elderly woman ready to embrace death and the little girl who reminds her what it means to live.
It's never too late to start living.
Eudora Honeysett is done with this noisy, moronic world - all of it. She has witnessed the indignities and suffering of old age and has lived a full life. At 85, she isn’t going to leave things to chance. Her end will be on her terms. With one call to a clinic in Switzerland, a plan is set in motion.
Then she meets 10-year-old Rose Trewidney, a whirling, pint-sized rainbow of sparkling cheer. All Eudora wants is to be left alone to set her affairs in order. Instead, she finds herself embarking on a series of adventures with the irrepressible Rose and their affable neighbor, the recently widowed Stanley - afternoon tea, shopping sprees, trips to the beach, birthday celebrations, pizza parties.
While the trio of unlikely BFFs grow closer and anxiously await the arrival of Rose’s new baby sister, Eudora is reminded of her own childhood - of losing her father during World War II and the devastating impact it had on her entire family. In reflecting on her past, Eudora realizes she must come to terms with what lies ahead.
But now that her joy for life has been rekindled, how can she possibly say goodbye?

Truly inspiring
This book made me want to live my life and appreciate its smaller pleasures more.
I liked the author's writing style, which perfectly portrayed the individuality of each and every character. The story seemed even more immersing thanks to (brilliant) Nicolette McKenzie voicing the audiobook. A reader experiences the whole spectrum of emotions as one learns more and more about Eudora's life. It's almost like you live through it hand in hand with her. As the ending nears, one inevitably starts reflecting on one's own life, meaninful moments and the present situation. If you read the book right but lived your life not exactly to your best expectations, you start getting a feeling like this is the right moment to change it. This is why I find this book so inspiring and would recommend anyone to read it.
