Summary
Tess and Orla have been best friends throughout most of their adult lives. So when life gave them lemons and their loved ones let them down, they pooled their resources and bought a dressmakers shop on the corner of Penny Lane. And they’ve been doing just fine ever since.
But one day, while studying her tired eyes and shapeless figure in the mirror, 62-year-old Tess realised that she doesn’t want her life to be just fine anymore. She wants it to be extraordinary. For as long as she can remember she’s put everyone else first. Now she wants to rediscover herself - and experience the kind of whirlwind adventure that will have the power make her smile when she’s confined to the armchair of a retirement home.
With the encouragement of fun-loving and quirky Orla, Tess joins an over-the-hill dating agency, and the two friends book a singles cruise around the Mediterranean. And that’s when their adventure of a lifetime really begins....
A totally uplifting, heartwarming, hilarious listen about embracing the moment, learning to love again and the joy of second chances. Perfect for fans of The Kicking the Bucket List and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry.

Love Dee McDonald
Loved this book and looking forward to her next available on here. Narrator should have just read the story and not attempted the accents albeit didn’t spoil it

Good
I enjoyed this book but found the accents hard to understand at times and some parts dragged out when they didn’t need to but overall a good read

Disappointed
So disappointed in this audio book! Loved The Runaway Wife and The Getaway Girls, really good listens, great narration, lots of laugh out loud moments. The Silver Ladies didn’t flow, couldn’t really follow the story, had to grit my teeth and stick it out just to complete the book! The narration was terrible, accents appalling, pronunciation was laughable! Sounded like it was read by Anita Manning off Bargain Hunt!! So disappointed!

The reader should have stuck to reading in her own accent and voice...
The narrator of this audio book tried way too many times to put on accents for specific characters and ended up failing to sound correctly like the accents every time, her liverpudlian accent sounded more like a geordie accent and her Greek accent sounded like Welsh, and when she came across an Indian male character who said he was from fulham in London she put on a fake foreign accent that didn't even sound Indian and I found it completely offensive at that point so I stopped listening and fast forwarded it to the end, so I didn't have to listen to it anymore. The story was horrendous and boring enough as it was without the terrible audio narration too. Very disappointed I had high hopes for this . The narrator should have stuck to her own accent and natural voice, (which by the way was lovely and she had a lovely softness to her voice) this would have been much more enjoyable than what was actually given. I now have a headache 😫.

A little drab
This was August's book of the month at our Little Book Buddies Book Club.
The story was a nice little story if not predictable at times. it would not entice me to read another by the same author.
Nice ending thank goodness even though I struggled to finish it. I can't not finish a book once I start even if it kills me.
