About this listen

Maisie Brennan is standing on a podium on the 20th anniversary of the death of her son, trying to find the first breath that will help her start talking to a room full of strangers.

A daunting task at the best of times, but she's also menopausal and one hot flush away from totally losing it. But as Maisie begins her story, she relaxes and, word by word, disappears into her past, back to the day when one mistaken action led to a chain of events that changed her life forever....

I just love Anna McPartlan’s story telling- you feel right there in the room with her and you feel like she could be telling your own story, she’s so relatable. The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes is a prime example.

The story telling.

Wow✨what an amazing book. I am not one for laughing out loud but this book made me laugh many times - the narrators delivery is just perfect, hilarious. I wept buckets at the end too, such a great storyline with a really beautiful message.

A hard subject matter to write about, i have 2 boys of a similar age and i just had to pounce on them for cuddles!
Once i explained why i was being more affectionate than usual they laughed at me! But i did feel them squeeze a bit tighter!

I wept buckets!
