Publisher's Summary

A witty, warm and wise story of how embracing the new with an open heart can transform your life.

Best-selling author and master storyteller Tricia Stringer tackles troubled relationships, second chances and love old and new in this uplifting story of unlikely dining companions thrown together on a glamorous cruise. Fans of Liz Byrski, Monica McInerney and Rachael Johns will love this audiobook.

"A delightful, wise and heart-warming novel about second chances that celebrates friendships old and new. I devoured every page." (Rachael Johns, author)

A cruise - no matter how magical - can't change your life. Can it?

Clever, charming dressmaker Ketty Clift is embarking on her final cruise from Sydney before she must make serious changes in her life. Supported by the ship's all-powerful maitre d' Carlos, she has a mission: transform the lives of those who join her at her dining table every evening. Not only can Ketty turn Cinderellas into princesses with her legendary eye for style, but she has a gift for bringing people together.

But this trip is different. As the glamour and indulgence of the cruise takes hold, and the ship sails further away from Sydney towards the Pacific Islands, it becomes clear her fellow travellers - a troubled family, a grieving widower and an angry divorcee determined to wreak revenge on her ex - are going to be harder work than usual.

As Ketty tries to deal with her own problems, including the unexpected arrival on board of her long-lost love, Leo - the man who broke her heart - as well as troubling news from home, she begins to realise this might be the one cruise that defeats her....

Cruise away

Not brilliant, but pleasant story.
It took some time to get used to the narrator.

Disappointing

This story was trite and had no substance at all. It was more than disappointing

Made myself finish it

I found this book a hard slog. I didn’t like any of the characters at first, although a couple grew on me in the end. I think maybe the reader made it worse: a bit toffy

Narrator hard to listen to, story pretty meh

The narrator seemed to emphasise every wrong word in every sentence. The only way I could digest her performance was to increase speed to 1.4

The story lacked depth, but that’s ok if you’re looking for a light hearted escape.

Not one of the author’s best works.

It's a lot a story.

Found I enjoyed this more after I changed the listening speed to 1.6 times.
