About this listen

From MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Judy Leigh

'Lovely... a book that assures that life is far from over at seventy' Cathy Hopkins

Growing old disgracefully and having a grand old time…

Billy and Dawnie may be in their seventies, but that won’t stop them taking chances or starting again. Their grown-up children have families and lives of their own, so now it’s Billy and Dawnie’s turn, and a life near the sea in Devon beckons.

But the residents of Margot Street (or Maggot Street as Dawnie insists on calling it), don’t quite know what to make of their new neighbours. Billy’s loud, shiny and huge Harley Davidson looks out of place next to the safe and sensible Honda Jazz next door, and Dawnie’s never-ending range of outrageous wigs and colourful clothes, means she’s impossible to miss.

As new friendships are formed and new adventures are shared, Billy and Dawnie start winning their neighbours’ affection. And when life teaches them all a terrible lesson, the folks of Margot Street are determined to live every day as if it’s their last.

Judy Leigh returns with a soul-warming, rib-tickling, timeless tale of true love, true friendship and happy-ever-afters. The perfect feel-good novel for all fans of Dawn French, Dee Macdonald and Cathy Hopkins.

Loved it !

Can’t wait to write a review telling how much I loved this audiobook. It was a delight . The story had a few twists and turns and moments of humour . I adored the various characters and it was read well and engagingly . Didn’t want it to end .

Very dull

There wasn’t anything I liked about this book, I really struggled to finish it.
A weak storyline and very irritating narrator

Hard work…

Thankfully I’ve enjoyed many of Judy’s books, sadly this wasn’t one of them 🥺

I persevered thinking it would improve but it didn’t. I finished it because it cost me 1 credit / £7.99 I would claim a refund if there was such a thing.

Not for me

Only got past the first chapter, too many details put across in conversation. I wouldn’t be telling my kids dad their life story, he’d already know surely
