I loved this! Thank you so much for sending it to me @CarolynM 😘

Franny is grieving after her husband died 3 years ago in a tragic accident. When a single Mum with two kids moves in next door her life is up-ended in all sorts of ways. I loved all of the characters, especially Franny herself and the two kids next door.

If you liked Eudora Honeysett you‘ll love this - it‘s actually a little bit sharper and funnier.

LeahBergen Hello Henry! 😘 2y

jesseastin This sounds great! I wonder why I can‘t find it at my library or on Amazon. Must search harder…. 2y

jesseastin Found and ordered! 2y

squirrelbrain @jesseastin - it‘s an Australian book which is maybe why you struggled but glad you‘ve found it now! 2y

TrishB Henry ♥️ book sounds fab too. 2y

BarbaraBB Sounds great. @CarolynM always finds the best Australian books! 2y

Hooked_on_books Henry looks like he enjoyed it, too! 2y

CarolynM 💕😘 Eudora Honeysett reminded me of this book, yet there aren‘t really that many similarities. Franny and Eudora are both fabulous but in very different ways! 2y

Happy Hour | Jacquie Byron

We‘ve had two days of walking so today is a campsite chill-out day.🚐

I‘m over halfway through Happy Hour and loving it; it‘s the perfect holiday read.

Only just started Enchantment and about to start Chrysalis on Kindle, because why read one book when you can read three?! 🤣

bnp What part of the world are you camping in? 2y

Bklover Those are my favorite days! Depending on the temperature, coffee, a comfy lawn chair, and a book by a campfire. Bliss. ❤️❤️❤️ 2y

CarolynM So glad you‘re enjoying Happy Hour ❤️ Isn‘t Franny fabulous? 2y

youneverarrived Sounds good! ❤️ I‘m waiting on Enchantment at the library, I really enjoyed her other book 2y

Cathythoughts Enjoy your well deserved chill out day 👍🏻❤️ 2y

Tamra Camping! 💜 Except it looks like you do the real thing! We faux camp with a camper. 😉 2y

squirrelbrain @bnp - we‘re in Yorkshire in England. 2y

squirrelbrain I‘m loving Franny @CarolynM - in fact all of the characters are fab! 2y

squirrelbrain @youneverarrived - so far I don‘t think it‘s as good as Wintering. Still good, but somehow it seems more negative even though it‘s meant to be about finding the positive. 2y

squirrelbrain Oh no @Tamra - we faux-camp too! That‘s just the side of the awning you can see. We have a camper too - it may be tiny but it has central heating! 😁 2y

Tamra @squirrelbrain 😂 okay, I don‘t feel so wimpy now. 2y

Megabooks Glad you‘re having a good camping trip! 2y

Cinfhen Exactly!! 2y

This #ozfiction features one of the most memorable characters of my reading year. Frannie is a force of nature and I loved spending time with her.

Franny, a fierce & fabulous older lady, finds her way out of 3 years of grief over the death of her beloved husband with the help of her 2 dogs & the family who have just moved in next door. The story is written with tremendous wit & is by turns funny, sad & heart-warming. I loved Franny to bits. The narration, by Nell Campbell, was spectacularly good too. It is without doubt the most entertaining book I've encountered in a long time. #ozfiction

Cinfhen Sounds wonderful #Stacked😁 (edited) 3y

LeahBergen Lovely review! 3y
