| book description |

A BRAND NEW uplifting 'Golden Girls Behaving Badly' book club pick from Kate GalleyTwo old friends. One unexpected adventure! When, at the age of 71, Gina Knight's husband of four decades left her unexpectedly, she thought her life over. Until she met Dorothy Reed – a woman so full of the joie de vivre you'd think she was 21, not nearly 90. Gina would do anything for Dorothy. So when Dorothy suggests she take on the role of companion for one of Dorothy's old friends, Gina sees no reason to say no. Meredith Harper is a successful writer, living in Provence, and needs help looking after her husband, whose health is deteriorating. But when Gina arrives at the grand chateau, it becomes clear that Dorothy has not given Gina the full story. Because Meredith is also writing her memoirs, and Dorothy wants to know the contents before anyone else. So much so, she's sent Gina to spy. But what secrets is Meredith keeping? And will Gina be able to find out the truth before her cover's blown? Praise for Kate Galley's books: 'An uplifting, positive story...
