About The Book
Clover Harrington might be sixty-one, but she’s still bossing it in the corporate world and can still run rings around her younger colleagues. And then she is made redundant….
Devastated and now suddenly the wrong side of sixty Clover doesn’t know what to do with her life or her corporate wardrobe! What does she wear if not red lippy and a power suit?! Rather than offer her any support, her partner, Jack announces he’s off on a golfing weekend, leaving Clover completely adrift.
Desperate to get away from it all, Clover decides to visit her cousin Zoe at her small taverna in the gorgeous Italian Lakes. There she can rest and recuperate and plan the next stage of her life.
Until Clover’s eighty-year-old mother, Eleanor decides to turn up for the holiday too! Instead of gentle ambles around the lake, Eleanor seems more interested in late night poker and swigging Prosecco and Clover can’t quite believe her mum is having more fun than she is. But as the saying goes – if you can’t beat em, join em!
But is Clover brave enough to live La Dolce Vita?

My Thoughts
Many people retire before age 60 but not Clover Harrington, she’s still at the top of the corporate ladder and can show those young pups a thing or two in the business world. Then no, the devastation…… she’s made redundant at work.
When her partner would rather play 18 holes than talk about her problem, she’s outta here and off to a bright a breezy location.
Welcome to delightful Italy! With a handsome man in the picture who is caring and actually takes the time to listen to what she says, she may just be hooked. Watch out for Mama though! I have to say when Clover’s mother shows up unexpectedly, she may have just stolen the show. You never quite know what to expect with her and she has quite a few antics to keep you entertained.
I love how the author uses older characters as her main characters as it makes for a fun and quirky read. We all can take a lesson from this book, don’t give up there is life to live and just go out and find your own adventure. I’m ready for the next fun adventure from this author as I always look forward to her books.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
