Arthur MacDonald, 85, is having an end-of-life crisis. His beloved, dying wife of over 60 years no longer knows who he is. His older brother still has all his hair and a wife almost half his age. The man his middle-aged daughter is dating has a ponytail. His teenaged grandson wants to cook desserts for a living. And his daughter wants him to move into Silvermine retirement home. Then Arthur meets the gorgeous, radical, 80-something-year-old Robbie and learns that nobody is ever too old to fall in love all over again.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 56
In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

The Driver: Ahead he could see only the stretch of unending road, on either side brown-scorched plains of dirt and scrub, above it all a soaring blue sky and blinding sun. The Hitchhiker: Have you ever done something bad? The question was like a clawed hand seizing his guts. The Fugitive: She’d made a mistake. Wasn’t the first time and wouldn’t be the last. Ever since she’d left, all she’d found was more trouble.

Publisher's Summary
Fifteen years after graduating from Harvard, five close friends on the cusp of middle age are still pursuing an elusive happiness and wondering if they’ve wasted their youthful opportunities. Jules, already a famous actor when she arrived on campus, is changing in mysterious ways but won’t share what is haunting her. Mariam and Rowan, who married young, are struggling with the demands of family life and starting to regret prioritising meaning over wealth in their careers. Eloise, now a professor who studies the psychology of happiness, is troubled by her younger wife’s radical politics. And Jomo, founder of a luxury jewellery company, has been carrying an engagement ring around for months, unsure whether his girlfriend is the one.
The soul searching begins in earnest at their much-anticipated college reunion weekend on the Harvard campus, when the most infamous member of their class, Frederick - senior advisor and son of the recently elected and loathed US President - turns up dead.
Old friends often think they know everything about one another, but time has a way of making us strangers to those we love - and to ourselves....
Ceridwen Dovey is the best-selling author of Once More With Feeling and In the Garden of the Fugitives.

Pedestrian
Sorry, but this book bored and irritated me. We ploughed through all the characters, one by one, hearing about their unremarkable lives, while being spoon-fed nuggets of home-spun wisdom on the subjects of relationships and parenting, with a tiresome amount of whinging about the latter. And all the while I was hoping that we were building to something interesting - and then it ended! I felt that I didn't know the character of the murderer well enough to even judge whether they would have 'dunnit'. It was extremely anti-climactic.

Not my cup of tea
I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for this book to get good. There seemed to be very little plot and I waited and waited for the climax. I guessed the ending too. Most of the characters either had weird internal conflicts based on ideologies or worried about parenting over and over and over. The ending wasn’t satisfying for the amount of build up. The book had so much potential, but maybe it’s just not my cup of tea.

Disappointed
I read Once more with feeling by this author which I loved and was excited to read another of Ceridwen’s books but this was like watching some strangers at the coffee shop. Nothing much happens. One of the few books I have not finished

Pretentious & boring
This book seems to go on & on forever about the most mundane things. So very pretentious & boring. I kept waiting for the actual story to develop, but it just seems like continual floral descriptions of utterly ordinary events & characters. One of the very few books I don't want to finish. Narrator tried valliantly, but the story was just awful.

A Great read
Thoroughly enjoyable, believable, memory becoming tale....makes one look back on one's life and the obvious indulgences of the private education system in western society

1% murder mystery
Gave it a go as a free listen that promised a mysterious death. I checked back on the blurb a couple of times during listening to check that this alternating waffle between interesting ideas on what it means to be human, and banal, worn-out ideas about parenting roles was actually, at some point, going to *have* a point. Sort of like a really good Reddit thread, with a very small morsel of murder mystery as a reward for persevering.
Donna Tartt's The Secret History kept coming to mind as I listened, because it is everything that this book is not.
tl;dr skip this read The Secret History instead

Did not enjoy
Disappointing... Found the characters annoying and so much detail yet not much progress in the plot. A robot? Didn't enjoy.

What is the light at the end of the tunnel?
The descriptions of a group of friends not that much older than myself and their dissatisfaction with how their lives turned out was almost too close to home! An enjoyable examination of maturing and how life changes or doesn't change us.
