About this listen
When Elizabeth drops her beloved only daughter off at college, she holds back the tears…fighting her worries about an empty nest with the thought of all the adventures that she and her husband Joel can now enjoy together. But as soon as they sit down to eat dinner that evening, Joel drops a bombshell. He wants a break.
Searching for an escape, Elizabeth discovers an apartment in Rome that is only available for three months rental to ‘an English woman of a certain age’. She reads on to find out the philosophy of Veronica, the 75-year-old owner, is that there is always joy to be found, however difficult the circumstances, and that it is an insult to the gift of life to not live it joyfully and fully – and that there is no better place to make this happen than Rome, the most beautiful city in the world.
Elizabeth accepts the challenge, and on arrival, finds that Veronica has a numbered list of challenges for her.

True
These are thoughts and feelings women of this character’s age have thought. The fantasy of escaping is realised, while the pressure to stay with established routine is acknowledged.
To whom do we owe loyalty? Ourselves or others? Which is wrong…. Or right….

A brilliant enjoyable book
Wow, I have listened to this audio book in a few days and wish I could keep on listening to it. I will definitely play it again as I loved the feel and humour and I want to jet off to Rome immediately even though I have been there.
I have listened or read every book Kerry has written and love them all. I can hardly wait for the next one.

Lovely story
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The descriptions of Rome were delightful - I've never been and am even more determined to visit since listening to this book.
It's so easy to see how women allow themselves to be swayed by the needs of others and feel guilty for indulging their own interests and passions. But this tale of a woman who slowly blossoms into herself is lovely to witness.
I look forward to reading the sequel.

A unexpected Gem
I came across this book/author by accident, and so pleased I did. The story is so real and parts resonated with me. I also relived my week in Rome with my daughter who had just graduated, her delight at seeing the statues and buildings she had studied stays with me. I was so excited to see there are 2 more books so I’m off back to Rome x

Absolutely fabulous story!!
I loved everything about this story. Being 53 myself and gone through something similar, this really resonated. So beautifully written..but then again so are all her books! I’ve listened to every one several times and this one will be no different… I just love the narrator so much! 🤩
