Eudora Honeysett is Quite Well, Thank You

A beautifully written book and highly recommended. I really enjoyed reading this one and look forward to more from this author in the future!!

Eudora is 85 years old and has decided to end her life under her terms at a clinic in Switzerland when the 10 year old daughter of a new neighbour bursts into her life. Rose is colourful and full of life, can this rub off on Eudora? Rose starts breaking through Eudora's tough outer shell, but will this be enough to change her view?
Although the main theme of this book is about death it is in no way morbid, in fact it is actually more about life. Using flashbacks to the times when Eudora is growing up you begin to understand her stand on life and its ending. This is undoubtedly one of the best books that I have read this year, it kept me hooked to the point where I had to finish it - at 1:3am and then spent a while thinking on the story before I could get to sleep. Definitely recommended.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book

An absolute perfect read .... the characters of Eudora and Rose drew me in from the get go I cannot speak highly enough of this book which will hit the best seller list I’m sure!
Eudora at 85 has decided she want to part this world and be in control of this making enquiries to visit Switzerland she quietly keeps herself to herself and goes about her daily routine. Then 10 yr old Rose moves in next door and an unlikely bond is formed .... Eudora starts to enjoy life once again.
Will she change her mind ?
Great back story - amazing characters ... I loved it from start to finish

Eudora Honeysett is Quite Well, Thank You: is possibly the one of the most uplifting and heartwarming books of 2020. It's a beautiful read, that makes you laugh, cry and smile.

I have to say this is the best book that I have ever read! Being in my 40's I've read a lot of books!

It was a very emotional and exceptionally well written book. I've never read anything like this before and I'm sure this will have a lasting memory for a very long time.

I'm sure this book will be a bestseller. If it isn't it certainly should be.

I am so grateful to Netgalley for letting me read this. Thank you.

Having thoroughly enjoyed books like Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and seeing that parallels had been drawn, I was intrigued by the blurb, about an octogenarian, Eudora Honeysett, who is contemplating an end of life clinic in Switzerland, to be her final stop on this planet, having no one around to care.
What a fantastic book!
I loved Eudora, the staid eighty-five-year-old, who has her simple days planned out and fancies sorting her end out too, so she doesn't become a burden upon anyone else, or have to suffer, like her own mother.
But, then along comes Rose, a ten-year-old whirlwind, who enters her life as a new neighbour, and who injects the affection into Eudora's life. Something she's been missing.
And I can't forget Stanley, the fellow octogenarian widower, who craves company but has never quite got the response from Eudora, that he hoped for.
The story flits back to Eudora's childhood formative years and key points in her past that have shaped her.
It was a heartwarming read, showing that it's never too late to form meaningful relationships.
I really loved it.
Many thanks to NetGalley. Harper Collins and One More Chapter for an ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

This book will be one of those that I will always remember. I have literally just finished it. It is the most emotional book I think I have ever read. I really felt like I knew the characters - Eudora 85 is happy on her own, she doesn't need anybody - after all she has been left by many. That is until she meets Rose who is 10 and Stanley a gentleman her own age. They teach her that she can love and be loved - I loved the character of Rose, an exceptional child who anyone would be proud of. I found myself laughing and smiling at the antics and loved the interaction between Rose and Eudora. It felt like I was reading a true story it was that good. It was a fabulous book which I didn't want to end. It really has touched me like no other book has. I hope the author reads this review! I would give it more than 5* if I could
