Review & Description
A year after her beloved husband's death Sally Lightfoot, 50, is as lost as the day he died. She's no longer a wife and her kids have grown up. The business is gone so she's not even a backup singer any more, or a caterer to the endless turnover of rock bands passing through Strawberry Hill Studios' kitchen. Her one professional skill, harmonising, only makes life more difficult. When she finds herself giving in to her kind but oppressive neighbor's cosy routines, Sally turns to self-help guides and seeks out old friends. Ramone, her old backup singer mate, takes a red pen to Sally's How To Win As A Widow book. Sally must get back out there and lose her 'wididity', her born-again virginity, before it's too late. At first Sally declines, nobody can replace her beloved Dom. But a challenging encounter on the Greek isle of Hydra, the spiritual home of the affluent hippy, gets her questioning. Elasticated waists or Magic Knickers? Gardening or partying? Sudoku or sex? Will Sally decide to age gracefully or disgracefully?
"One minute this book has the reader laughing out loud, the next we are sobbing. Romantic, hilarious, engaging and highly perceptive." JACQUI LOFTHOUSE, The Writing Coach.
"Last night I finished it before my cats got fed." ELIZABETH BACON-SMITH
"This is the best book ever! That's the only way to describe it!" RITA REVIEWS
"An awesome read." GIGGLESILLY REVIEWS
"A wonderful look at finding yourself again after the death of a loved one. Insightful and delightful, full of thoughtful dialogue and exceptional clarity." HUFFINGTON POST BOOKS
