About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Veronica McCreedy is about to have the journey of a lifetime....
Veronica McCreedy lives in a mansion by the sea. She loves a nice cup of Darjeeling tea whilst watching a good wildlife documentary. And she’s never seen without her ruby-red lipstick.
Although these days, Veronica is rarely seen by anyone, because at 85, her days are spent mostly at home, alone.
She can be found either collecting litter from the beach (‘people who litter the countryside should be shot’), trying to locate her glasses (‘someone must have moved them’) or shouting instructions to her assistant, Eileen (‘Eileen, door!’).
Veronica doesn’t have family or friends nearby. Not that she knows about, anyway.... And she has no idea where she’s going to leave her considerable wealth when she dies.
But today...today, Veronica is going to make a decision that will change all of this.

Delightful
What a great story! It worked well to have 3 narrators. I’ll be looking out for more by the dame author.

A heartwarming story
A wonderful story with a charming character development. It was delightful to hear about the main characters' past and her journey through Antarctica. Having 3 different narrators really helps keep track of everyone but also they each bring their characters to life, allowing you to really picture everything thats happening. I really enjoyed this book.

Fun book, worth a listen.
Absolutely loved central character Veronica and she was really made to come to life in sound of narrator's voice.

This book was delightful. Believable characters, well developed. Complex back stories, well executed. A environmental message. Loved it.
