About this listen
A life-affirming, poignant story of two women with nothing in common except their friendship - from Number One bestselling author Roisin Meaney.
Perfect for listeners of Cathy Kelly and Sheila O'Flanagan.
The friendship starts with a letter...from aspiring writer Sarah to blunt but witty journalist Helen, complaining about Helen's most recent book review. And there begins a correspondence that blossoms into a friendship which spans over two decades.
As the years pass, the women exchange details of loves lost and found, of family joys and upheavals. Sarah's letters filled with thoughts on her outwardly perfect marriage and her aching desire for children, and Helen's on the struggle of raising her young daughter alone.
But little do they realise that their story began long before Sarah penned that first letter - on one unforgettable afternoon when Sarah changed the course of Helen's life forever.
This is the story of Helen and Sarah, and the friendship that was part of their destiny.

I want more of this book
This book was absolutely wonderful. So lovely yet so heartbreaking. Such amazing characters and such a wonderful way to deal with the passage of time.
The narrator is pitch perfect. I wish the book did not end (and I usually complain that books are too long). I wanted to stay with the characters so so much. Loved it.

Why????
I loved this book and the narrator. It had the same lovely, warm feeling of all of Roisin Meany’s novels. I was so happy to find this author because I missed the calm and sweetness of Maeve Binchy’s books. But I hated the ending; that’s all I’m going to say.

Emotional
This was too real for me. Every character was relatable, flaws and all. Maybe especially their flaws. It could have ended differently without detracting from the overall impact. I would have preferred a better ending.
