Description
The list he left had just one item on it. Or, at least, it did at first…
Mabel Beaumont’s husband Arthur loved lists. He’d leave them for her everywhere. ‘Remember: eggs, butter, sugar’. ‘I love you: today, tomorrow, always’.
But now Arthur is gone. He died: softly, gently, not making a fuss. But he’s still left her a list. This one has just one item on it though: ‘Find D’.
Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot, who she hasn’t seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago.
It seems impossible. She doesn’t even know if Dot’s still alive. Also, every person Mabel talks to seems to need help first, with missing husbands, daughters, parents. Mabel finds her list is just getting longer, and she’s still no closer to finding Dot.
What she doesn’t know is that her list isn’t just about finding her old friend. And that if she can admit the secrets of the past, maybe she could even find happiness again…
A completely heartbreaking, beautiful, uplifting story, guaranteed to make you smile but also make you cry. Perfect for fans of My Name is Ove, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and The Keeper of Stories.
Ce que les critiques en disent
‘Such a poignant story. Brought a lump to my throat in many places… Will really appeal to fans of Joanna Cannon.’ Karen Angelico, author
‘I loved it! Mabel Beaumont is an absolute treasure… Laura Pearson cleverly, gently, peels back the layers of Mabel’s and her friends’ lives in a way that hurts, then soothes, your heart… An uplifting, life-affirming joy of a novel!’ Emma Robinson, author
‘I absolutely loved this book… I adore an older protagonist who’s portrayed as a real person, with opinions and regrets, and who is feisty and not afraid to speak her mind. The story is like a warm hug – but it had spark and wit and humour too. I loved it, and was bereft when I finished it (far too) late last night!… Gorgeous!’ Clare Swatman, author

Brilliant narrator
This book was outstanding, hence the 5 stars. There were surprises at almost every turn of the page.
The narrator brought each character to life so you felt you could have been in the room with Mabel and her friends.
The book was recommended to me by my two daughters who both gave it 5 stars and I can see why.
