6 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 4 to read
Bestselling author and master storyteller Tricia Stringer tackles troubled relationships, second chances and love old and new in this uplifting story of unlikely dining companions thrown together on a glamorous cruise. Readers of Liz Byrski, Monica McInerney and Rachael Johns will love this book. 'A delightful, wise and heart-warming novel about second chances that celebrates friendships old and new. I devoured every page.' Rachael Johns A cruise - no matter how magical - can't change your life. Can it...? Clever, charming dressmaker Ketty Clift is embarking on her final cruise from Sydney before she must make serious changes in her life. Supported by the ship's all-powerful maitre d' Carlos, she has a mission: transform the lives of those who join her at her dining table every evening. Not only can Ketty turn Cinderellas into princesses with her legendary style-eye, but she has a gift for bringing people together. But this trip is different. As the glamour and indulgence of the cruise takes hold, and the ship sails further away from Sydney towards the Pacific Islands, it becomes clear that her fellow travellers - a troubled family, a grieving widower and an angry divorcee determined to wreak revenge on her ex - are going to be harder work than usual. As Ketty tries to deal with her own problems, including the unexpected arrival on board of her long-lost love, Leo - the man who broke her heart - as well as troubling news from home, she begins to realise this might be the one cruise that defeats her... A witty, warm and wise story of how embracing the new with an open heart can transform your life.

A nice light read, a kind of Australian version of a Maeve Binchy novel. Surprisingly enjoyable. #LMPBC #GroupZ

December read for #LMPBC I decorated the tree with my step daughters on the weekend. We danced around to carols and had a lovely time. I let my anal mother in law and partner do the fluffing up of the tree and put the lights on then joined the kids in the fun bit.

Lizpixie Hi Alissa! I‘m actually your jolabokaflod swap partner but I‘ve lost the email with your address. If you send it to me at green-eyed-pixie@hotmail.com I‘ll get it sent express overnight either this afternoon or in the morning. Thanks lovely! 5y
Lizpixie Don‘t worry lovely, I got it off Michelle. Just sent it express so fingers crossed it gets there in time. So sorry about the delay, it‘s been a rough couple of months honestly.🙏 5y

I've been on a couple of cruises in the last few years. The first was to the south Pacific (On the ship pictured above on the morning we set sail) which was a similar cruise to the one in the tagged book. The second cruise was a few months ago in the Carribean #letstravelaugust #aussieauthors #awwc

I really enjoy Tricia Stringer's writing and the book bought back memories of my own South Pacific cruise nearly 3 years ago. We have just booked a Carribean cruise for next year so i am looking forward to that.

I did find some of the characters a bit unlikable though
