Summary
What do you do if you’ve been married to a man for half your life and out of nowhere he leaves your bed – permanently? When this happens to Jeanie, she’s furious and determined to confront George, her husband of thirty years. Is he in love with someone else? What did she do wrong? He won’t tell her. The brightest day of her week is Thursday; the day Jeanie takes her granddaughter to the park. There, one day, she meets Ray, kind, easy to talk to, and gorgeous – he is everything George isn’t. But does she have the courage, while facing opposition from all sides, to turn her life upside down for another shot at love?
Following well over 100,000 ebook sales, celebrated actress Joanna David brings Hilary Boyd's heart-warming romance to life.

Great story!
I love this book! The story is never boring and swings along at a great pace. Hilary Boyd's books are all full of real people who have real problems and take you along with them. It is well read too!

great story
I loved this book, the frustrations in all senses of the word of the main character was so realistic. Her manipulative husband and unsympathetic daughter all added to a really good book. Joanna David read it so well and added to my enjoyment. Can't wait to find some more Hilary Boyd books to listen to

Thoroughly enjoyed this book
What made the experience of listening to Thursdays in the Park the most enjoyable?
This book had the amazing skill of letting you feel the main characters emotions! Not often seen and this was a real pleasure!
What other book might you compare Thursdays in the Park to, and why?
I've never read anything like it, it shows how many people can be downtrodden in a strange kind of way, yet shows the strength that everyone has.
A story told by someone who "knows" how this feels
What does Joanna David bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The story is told with a genuine sincerity rarely ever heard. Not once did I feel she was reading the story, but actually telling "her" story... Quite magical in a hum drum kind of way.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Every time the discussion of "moving" I felt her desperation
Any additional comments?
Wonderful, not a book I would normally pick... Thank you audible for your offers that get me to try something new

An excellent escapist listen
I loved this novel and for a couple of days the lives of the characters completely took over my life. If you enjoy the novels of Joanna Trollope and Penny Vincenzi then this is definitely worth a listen. It's obviously not a literary novel but it certainly rises above standard chick lit and Hilary Boyd writes a very convincing family story.

A love story with a difference.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this delightful and sensitively portrayed tale of mature love and compassion and the narration is brilliant

Hooked from the first paragraph
The best book by far that I have listened to for a while and my first Hilary Boyd book. I didn't want it to end! Got straight into this which is rare for me. So often I find a story not holding my attention and I'm having to go back a chapter to remind myself who is who and what is going on, particularly when the book introduces too many characters at once. But not with this book at all. I could completely relate to all the characters. Last but far from the least the narrator! Joanna David was perfect for this story ! As soon as I finished this book I searched for my next Hilary Boyd listen but sadly none of them have Joanna David narrating :(

Gripping
This was an emotional roller coaster as one became so involved in this dysfunctional marriage. Sometimes I felt so frustrated by the heroine other times a bit depressed. A great story though and I will be ordering another one.
