So when life gave them lemons and their loved ones let them down they pooled their resources and bought a dressmakers shop on the corner of Penny Lane. And they’ve been doing just fine ever since.<br /><br />But one day while studying her tired eyes and shapeless figure in the mirror sixty-two-year-old Tess realised that she doesn’t want her life to be <em>just fine</em> anymore. She wants it to be <em>extraordinary</em>. For as long as she can remember she’s put everyone else first. Now she wants to rediscover herself – and experience the kind of whirlwind adventure that will have the power make her smile when she’s confined to the armchair of a retirement home.<br /><br />With the encouragement of fun-loving and quirky Orla Tess joins an over-the-hill dating agency and the two friends book a singles cruise around the Mediterranean. <strong>And that’s when their adventure of a lifetime really begins…</strong><br /><br /><strong>A totally uplifting heart-warming hilarious page turner about embracing the moment learning to love again and the joy of second chances.
