A late-life chance at love

Cecily Hamilton is approaching her ninety-second birthday with a life shaped by work and friendship, and a close circle of silver-haired companions to share picnics and prosecco. Then the granddaughter of Cecily’s first love arrives with news that Eddie may still love her. As Cecily considers whether romance has a place in her life, her friends are also reconnecting with old flames and meeting new ones. The premise brings later-life friendship and second chances together, with Cecily’s question at its heart: whether she is ready to seize an unexpected opportunity for love.

Book overview

A BRAND NEW feel-good read from MILLION COPY BESTSELLER Judy Leigh

You're never too old to fall in love...again!

Cecily Hamilton is months away from her ninety-second birthday. She's lived life to the full, choosing work over romance, friendship over love. And now she has a host of silver-haired friends living nearby, ready to fill her time with picnic lunches, prosecco and cheer!

Cecily thought she was content. She thought her cup was full...

But when the granddaughter of Cecily's first and only love arrives on her doorstep, claiming that her grandfather, Eddie, is still in love with Cecily after all these years, Cecily wonders if there might be room for a little romance after all. Especially since, one by one, her friends keep falling head over heels for old flames and new.

Can the oldest silver lady of the bunch really hope for her own second chance at love? Is it finally time for Cecily to seize the day?
