Publisher's Summary

Maisie Brennan is standing on a podium on the 20th anniversary of the death of her son, trying to find the first breath that will help her start talking to a room full of strangers.

A daunting task at the best of times, but she's also menopausal and one hot flush away from totally losing it. But as Maisie begins her story, she relaxes and, word by word, disappears into her past, back to the day when one mistaken action led to a chain of events that changed her life forever....

A beautiful story told by the best narrator.

I was gripped in pain, cried a river of tears and felt every moment as if I was in the story. Every character was brought in for a reason and the story deepened and twisted moment by moment. Aoife McMahon was the perfect choice to bring this important story to life. Just read it, even if its not your usual pick. It's got everything.

Fabulous

I have absolutely loved listening to somewhere inside of Happy. The story line was faultless, i listened to this book at every opportunity I could.
The ending was very emotional.
And of course amazing narration by Aoife McMahon as usual.

Great read

Loved this book - great characters, and brilliant look at how we are shaped and respond to the challenges in our lives.
Aoife McMahon is an absolute legend! She has such a nuanced interpretation of the text - and an unparalleled value add for every book I’ve heard her read.
