About this listen

An uplifting, fun-filled read about golden girls behaving badly, from NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER Maddie Please

It’s never too late to teach an Old Duck new tricks!

Sophia Gregory has lost her sparkle...

Recently single and about to turn sixty, Sophia doesn’t recognise the old woman staring back at her in the mirror. How has life passed her by? A quiet holiday in beautiful Rhodes is the perfect chance for her to find herself.

Until she meets the Old Ducks!

Juliette, Kim and Anita are three friends who are determined not to grow old gracefully! Bold and brash, they are Sophia’s worst nightmare, until they make her an honorary member of The Old Ducks’ Club! Now dancing and drinking till dawn Sophia starts to shake off her stuffy old life and start living again!

And when she meets her gorgeous Greek neighbour, Theo, she thinks that maybe, if she’s just a little braver, she can learn to love again too...

A laugh out loud and uplifting story about the importance of friendship and always, always having fun!

Perfect for fans of Judy Leigh and Dee Macdonald

Robust characters, perfect scene setting, warm, not sicky sweet and fun. The superb narration brought each of the characters to life and you could almost imagine yourself sitting in the hot tub slurping wine with the old ducks and planning where you will be in your life in a years time.

I’d love to see this as a film.

Glorious

The perfectly predictable easy summer read. Brilliant characters with traits a lot of people could relate to. It made me laugh out loud and be thankful for my very own ‘old ducks club’.

This Old Duck loved it!

I found this book great fun. The characters were all quite believable and allowed to be real people. Although I think Theo is just too good to be true!!!

Very Entertaining

I had done a few thrillers and needed a funny light hearted listen - this fitted the bill completely.
the narrator pulled off the voices of each old duck perfectly x

charming, funny story

Such a gentle, funny, lovely story of a middle aged woman waking up to realise that she still has a life to live. She is ‘led astray’ by three new friends that she makes who show her that life doesn’t wither when your hair turns grey but if you want it to, it can get better or be different. If I could rent her holiday let I would, it sounded idyllic.

Lovely gentle funny story
