About this listen

The BRAND NEW brilliantly relatable book from Celia Anderson, BESTSELLING author of A New Lease of Life.

A seaside village, friends old and new… and a whole lot of surprises.

'Celia tells a story with warmth and heart - you'll be rooting for her wonderfully vivid characters, and want them to be your friends too!' Fiona Gibson

Violet Silverwood loves her life by the sea in East Sussex, but as a widow with grown-up children, she's ready for a new sense of purpose – and more fun! So, along with her outspoken best friend Marigold and their surprising new neighbour Iggy, Violet launches 'The Seaside Singles' Club', for people who refuse to believe that friendship (or romance) has an age limit.

Meanwhile, Violet's daughter Beth arrives home hoping for some breathing space, but is swiftly pulled into village life and her mother's plans, as well as coming face-to-face with an old flame.

As mother and daughter navigate old tensions and new beginnings, they discover that life truly is better… together.

Warm, witty and full of heart, Friends for Keeps is an uplifting celebration of fresh starts, community and the courage to open yourself up to life again.
