About the Book:
You’re never too old to fall in love…again!
Cecily Hamilton is months away from her ninety-second birthday. She’s lived life to the full, choosing work over romance, friendship over love. And now she has a host of silver-haired friends living nearby, ready to fill her time with picnic lunches, prosecco and cheer!
Cecily thought she was content. She thought her cup was full…
But when the granddaughter of Cecily’s first and only love arrives on her doorstep, claiming that her grandfather, Eddie, is still in love with Cecily after all these years, Cecily wonders if there might be room for a little romance after all. Especially since, one by one, her friends keep falling head over heels for old flames and new.
Can the oldest silver lady of the bunch really hope for her own second chance at love? Is it finally time for Cecily to seize the day?
My Review:
This novel got off to a slow start for me, introducing so many characters. It is part of a series so the characters were from previous books. Once I got into the novel, about a third of the way in, it began to flow for me. As a septuagenarian, it was fun to read about the romantic possibilities for older women. Leigh has created lively women committed to long term supportive friendships, surviving troubled times, loss and grief. This book is an entertaining and uplifting one.
It is a good book and series for older women. It is a reminder to not fear growing older, that it is never too late to live each day with passion and to not let time just drift by.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
