The Widows' Book Club

The BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud, feel-good read for ladies of a certain age! ?? ???? Perfect for fans of Maddie Please, Judy Leigh, and Karen King.'Uplifting, funny, poignant, resonant, this is a pacy tale of friendship, frolics and solidarity.' Judy Leigh

Welcome to the Widows' Book Club, where the wine flows freely and the gossip is irresistible...

Janet, Viv and Zelda's monthly meet-ups have been a safe haven over the past few years: a chance to share life's ups and downs and laugh their way through widowhood with a glass of wine in hand. But when Janet's old flame Lewis walks back into her life - still charming, still handsome, and still very much married to his formidable wife Christobel - the widows find themselves caught up in unexpected drama.

Keen to show they are as cultured as Lewis and Christobel's other friends, Janet fibs that the widows have a book club. So they set one up. But when Christobel demands she join and then promptly starts to take over, real life becomes much messier (and more exciting) than fiction...

What will this next chapter bring for them all?

A warm and witty tale of friendship, rivalry, love and second chances - perfect for anyone who knows a book club is about so much more than just the books!
