About this listen

Winner of the Romantic Novelists' Association.

Contemporary Romantic Novel Award, 2015.

As heart wrenching and life-affirming as One Day or Me Before You, A Hundred Pieces of Me is a story about what it means to finally live life to the full.

Letters from the only man she's ever truly loved. A keepsake of the father she never really knew. A blue glass vase that catches the light on a grey day.

Gina Bellamy is starting again, after a few years she'd rather forget. But the belongings she's treasured for so long don't seem to fit who she is now. So Gina makes a resolution. She'll keep just a hundred special items - the rest can go. But that means coming to terms with her past and learning to embrace the future, whatever it might bring....

Critic Reviews

"Such a brilliant book. So satisfying and clever and deeply moving. I'll be passing it on to all my friends." (Sophie Kinsella)

"Bittersweet, lovely and ultimately redemptive; the kind of book that makes you want to live your own life better." (Jojo Moyes)

"This vibrant and uplifting novel has not only entertained me hugely, but made me change the way I look at life." (Katie Fforde)

Would you try another book written by Lucy Dillon or narrated by Juanita McMahon?

Story was rather self-indulgent and self-pitying. The word tedious kept springing to mind. I understand the moral of the story was to overcome that but it took a long time to get there.
It was made worse by the narrator who kept ... pausing at inappropriate moments. She also pronounced every name as if it were in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Great narrator, felt like it was her story. Character driven, but still felt like the story sabotages moving and evolving. Loved it

Really enjoyable and engaging

When I first read the "about this book" information for this novel it didn't appeal to me. Then through book reviews I discovered that it had characters in it from other Lucy Dillon books that I had enjoyed. The book reviews for it were also excellent. I'm so glad I chose to read this book. I loved it. There were at times a few tears. It made me think about life a little differently. The only bit I wasn't happy with was the ending. I really want to know Gina's outcome. I hope I find her somewhere else in another book.

A thought provoking read

This was one of those books with the right amount of twists and turns to a gently told story, that was upsetting and uplifting at the same time . Loved it.

Listened nonstop.

A great narrative and structure which brings up a lot of questions about the "stuff" that clutters our lives and the meaning we attach to it. Voiceover was good but possibly sounded a bit "mature" for the majority of the characters. Was not distracting though.

Enjoyable thought provoking read !!

What's not to love?
Very easy voice to listen to. Thanks narrator!
Great story...thanks author! It's not even as predictable as I thought... I thought it would end in a particular way but I was surprised.
This was my first story from this author, but I am ready for story number two. ☆★☆★☆

A young woman many of us can relate to struggles to make sense of her life.
Good story well told.
Narrator"s voice age does not match the age of the lead character in this story told in the first person.
