About this listen

A life-affirming, poignant story of two women with nothing in common except their friendship - from Number One bestselling author Roisin Meaney.

Perfect for listeners of Cathy Kelly and Sheila O'Flanagan.

The friendship starts with a letter...from aspiring writer Sarah to blunt but witty journalist Helen, complaining about Helen's most recent book review. And there begins a correspondence that blossoms into a friendship which spans over two decades.

As the years pass, the women exchange details of loves lost and found, of family joys and upheavals. Sarah's letters filled with thoughts on her outwardly perfect marriage and her aching desire for children, and Helen's on the struggle of raising her young daughter alone.

But little do they realise that their story began long before Sarah penned that first letter - on one unforgettable afternoon when Sarah changed the course of Helen's life forever.

This is the story of Helen and Sarah, and the friendship that was part of their destiny.

Unfortunately they never got to meet, that made me a little sad. Wondering if they remember.

I liked the way the story was told between the two women. The passing years were referenced subtly to give time context.
Narration was excellent and engaging.

Well that was not the ending I expected!

Just loved the book. Flowed so well I felt they were people I’ve known over my time. I once had a pen pal - she passed before we could meet 😔💕

We’ll meet again - maybe

This is a wonderful book of life and friendship. I was looking out for this Audiobook since last year when I saw it was going to be released in March 24. From the start it grasped me and I couldn't get enough. Another great read from Roinsin Meaney.
