Joanna Nell's life-affirming debut is a moving, funny, heartwarming tale of love and community in the spirit of THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY and GRACE AND FRANKIE. The life of 79-year-old pensioner Peggy Smart is as beige as the décor in her retirement village. Her week revolves around aqua aerobics and appointments with her doctor. Following a minor traffic accident, things have turned frosty with her children, and she fears they are trying to take away her independence. The highlight of Peggy's day is watching her neighbor Brian head out for his morning swim. She dreams of inviting him to dinner, but fears she has become invisible. A chance encounter with an old school friend, Angie Valentine, sets Peggy on a journey of self-discovery. Lively and whimsical, with serious points about aging, love, community, and friendship, this story is a funny, witty, and enjoyable read for all ages.
