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

It's never too late to change…

After a health scare, 77 year-old spinster Barbara goes to convalesce in the sleepy picture-perfect English country village of Winsley Green with her sister Pauline. The sisters are chalk and cheese - Barbara, outspoken and aloof and Pauline, good natured and homely – so it’s not long before the tension starts to rise.

When Pauline accidentally knocks down a vagrant called Bisto Mulligan, the ladies find themselves with another houseguest. As he recovers, it becomes apparent that Bisto is not who he first seemed and, as the sisters get to know the kind and courageous man he really is, it’s clear Bisto could change both of their lives.

As the spring turns to summer, and the English countryside comes to life, can the three friends make the changes they need to, to embrace fresh starts, new loves, new journeys and new horizons. Or do old habits die too hard?

Funny, joyful and with a spring in its step that reminds you to live every day like it’s your last. Bestselling author Judy Leigh has once again written the perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Jennifer Bohnet, Rebecca Raisin and Cathy Hopkins.

Thoroughly enjoyed

Being 70 years old myself, I could certainly relate to this story’s delightful tale. Thank you

Pleasant Weekend Afternoon Read

The Old Girl’s Network is a fun little piece of fiction. It was just a random choice after hearing samples from 3 other books. The characters are mostly not how they seem, but most of a summer, leaves them changed for the better. They are kinder, nicer group.

Enjoyed Every Moment!

I did not want this book to end - lovely story, descriptions and characters. I hope Judy Leigh has written other books - if she has, I will find them.

Entertaining

Right now, I'm listening to mostly light and funny audiobooks - this fits the bill.

Dimensional characters, funny humans doing human stuff, entertaining and excellently narrated!

Nicely put together

I enjoyed this book that was full of kind and quirky people . The narration was excellent as well.

Wonderful story

I’ve been looking for a book like this. It was fun. I didn’t want it to end. Thank you.

Fun, fun, fun

I enjoyed listening to this book. it was a bit like listening to a teenage story but for over 60s :-)

Life Begins

This story pulls you into it. In my 80’s this made me feel new again. A heartwarming, rollicking, study of lives that describes every character as if you were actually in the scene with them! I loved this amazing story.

Great book for the broken hearted!

A wonderful story of 2 sisters who have never been close, brought together by life's circumstances. It is a story of empowerment and finding your way after having your heart broken. The characters are well developed and the setting is nice. The story deals with life's issues realistically and you feel a commaraderie with the characters. The narration is terrific and adds to the story! If you are looking for a woman-centered fiction story that is like an engaging movie - this is it!
