When Mim Squires and Mathias Vander are stranded together on a disrupted flight home to Perth, they are surprised to find that they have much in common. Mim owns a bookshop, Mathias is a writer, and both are at turning points in their lives. Mim's childhood polio is taking a toll on her life. Mathias is contemplating a cross-continent move to be nearer his daughter.

But life back in Perth is not smooth sailing, with their respective family members going through their own upheavals. As Mim and Mathias both struggle to adjust to the challenges of being in their late seventies, secrets from the past that neither wishes to face rise to the surface, challenging their long-held beliefs in their independence and singularity.

At the end of the day can they muster the wisdom and the courage they need to change?

Critic reviews

'The strength of Liz Byrski's novels lies in their inherent relatability, from her well-developed characters, the lives they lead and the gentle but thought-provoking stories of everyday life she tells . . . an engaging exploration of love, friendship, independence, family and identity' - Courier Mail

'A truly heartwarming tale' - Australian Women's Weekly

'Much loved WA author Liz Byrski returns . . . bringing her characteristic warmth to a story centred on bookshop owner Mim and writer Mathias . . . the two quickly form a bond that will help to see them through the travails of family, friendships, ageing and coming to terms with the past.' - West Australian

This book is a lovely story of two lives intertwining and heir journey to heal themselves and find peace. A lovely listen.
My only fault is that it’s set in Perth WA but they mispronounced Albany. A common mistake but it thoroughly jolted me from the book.

A lovely book
