About this listen
The greatest adventure is coming back home.
Lila Metcalfe is a trainee journalist in Derby and she's very used to being given the stories that no one else wants. So, when her editor tells her that the city's Cossington Park development is being held up by a solitary resident on Hope Street who is refusing to leave, she knows she is going to be the one sent to find out more. And that's how she meets Connor.
Twenty-something Connor is the sole resident of Hope Street and he is not at all what Lila is expecting. And he has a very clear reason not to move: he is waiting for his mum to come home.
The uplifting and heartfelt new novel from the author of A Song of Me and You.

The best Mike Gayle book!
I've read/listened to a lot of Mike Gayle books and always enjoy them but this is the best yet. Warm and intriguing I've listened to it all in 24 hours! Whilst the character of Lila took some time to warm to, I instantly cared for Connor ~ and the actor narrating his chapters is great. The whole book is brilliantly written, well performed and very emotive. I highly recommend it.

perfect characters and excellent narration
The characters are strong, the story is brilliant.
I loved Connor's unwavering faith his mum would not leave him. Everyone needs a friend like Marcus. Lila is great, as are the lesser characters like Alan and Katie. There were times when I could feel panic in what i knew was coming with some less likable people! To date, I have said 'the man I think I know' by Mike Gayle is my favourite but this is on a par, to be fair I love ALL his books, starting many many years ago with 'Dinner for two' give this a go, yiu won't regret it! also, hats off to the narrators, they were perrect for the characters. I'm a very happy listener

A pocket full of bliss.
This is such an endearing read. Gayle quickly takes you into Connor and Bernie's world, a world where only the two of them matter. As the reader discovers just how close their bond is and how cruel life can be, you are left rooting for them both. This book captures how a good circle of friends can pull together to make others happy.
A wonderful read.
5-stars all day long.
