Description

Thelma and Louise meets The Golden Girls in the BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud, relatable read from MILLION COPY bestseller Judy Leigh! Perfect for fans of Dawn French and Caroline James! 🍷✨❤️

Age is just a number. Trouble is a lifestyle.

When octogenarian sisters-in-law Sadie and Bronagh find themselves at the centre of a scandalous (and slightly explosive) bake-off fiasco, there’s only one thing to do – steal Sadie’s grandson’s gleaming red Ferrari and make a run for it.

Sadie is the practical one, all cardigans and contingency plans. Bronagh treats rules as loose suggestions – especially if mischief or wine is involved.

What begins as a quick getaway across Ireland soon spirals into a wild, cross-country adventure filled with fake identities, unexpected friendships, and more than a few brushes with the law.

Sadie and Bronagh may be on the run, but what they find at the journey’s end might just be what they were missing all along…

A heartwarming, hilarious tale of rebellion, rediscovery, and the true meaning of family.

Praise for Judy Leigh:

'Judy’s books are always delicious romps, full of energy, adventures and love. Bring on the next one!' Celia Anderson

'I loved this book. It's funny, emotional and a book that fills you with determination not to let life pass you by as you get older.' Jennifer Bohnet

Brilliantly funny, emotional and uplifting’ Miranda Dickinson

'Lovely . . . a book that assures that life is far from over at seventy' Cathy Hopkins

'Brimming with warmth, humour and a love of life… a wonderful escapade’ Fiona Gibson

Judy Leigh’s great strength is her wonderful, full-of-life characters. I especially love how so many of her starring roles in her novels go to strong women, and particularly older women… Highly recommended.’

‘You can only love the beautiful writing style of Judy Leigh. It's light, fresh and breezy, She gives aging a sparkle, that doesn't make it seem scary but something to embrace and enjoy to the maximum.’

‘Judy Leigh has become one of my favourite authors. Her writing is amazing. I have read most of her novels and look forward to the next one.’

‘I hope you too pick up this heart warming, fun-filled frolicking story of friendship and love. It is well worth a read.’

‘As usual, Judy Leigh excelled at imagining her characters, and it was a treat to follow their adventures. Of course, I don’t include spoilers, but I can certainly promise a story filled with the very best kind of people, love, and a reminder that age is just a state of mind.’
