What this book is about
When Leena Cotton's career implodes, she needs somewhere quiet to recover. Her grandmother Eileen has always wanted to visit London. So they switch: Leena goes to the Yorkshire village, Eileen takes the London flat. Both of them discover that the life they thought they didn't want has things they've been missing. Beth O'Leary's feel-good novel is a warm dual-perspective story about two women who stop waiting to start living — with quiet humor, a slow-burn romance for each of them, and the kind of ending that earns its sweetness.
