About the Book:
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…
My Review:
These women get into some crazy adventures. I had to laugh though as age and tiredness catches up to them every time. Character transformation occurs when family members come to find them and have meaningful encounters at an animal sanctuary. This is a feel good novel and a pleasant one to read.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
