Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

A lyrical and emotionally engaging novel infused with mystery and wisdom about love, friendship, and the power of forgiveness.



Florrie Butterfield--eighty-seven, one-legged, and of cheerful disposition--believes there can't be any more adventures or surprises in life to experience. Yet one midsummer's evening, there's an accident at Babbington Hall--the adult residence where she lives--so shocking and strange that Florrie is suspicious; is this really an accident? Or is she being lied to? Is she, in fact, living alongside a potential murderer? In her efforts to learn the truth, Florrie is forced to look back on her own life, with all its passions and regrets; she must confront her own bloody secret--and, at last, forgive herself. Above all, Florrie learns, through the help of her new friend, Stanhope, that you're never too old to have the life you've always dreamed of. When it comes to love, it's never too late.



Readers of moving fiction about late-in-life second chances such as Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove and Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry will love this un-putdownable book.

Original edition published in the UK in 2024 by Transworld, part of the Penguin Random House group of companies.
