In a nutshell
When Vententia Hamilton’s husband passes away she’s left with a huge house, bank balance and the feeling that she’s been sleepwalking through life. Determined to live fully, she gives herself a makeover and makes the biggest purchase of her life – a dilapidated ballroom with a drop-in centre and spiritualist church. What seems reckless ends up being the best decision she’s ever made.
Book Club Notes
This book is pure joy. Some may call it quintessential chick lit and while it is the ultimate feel good story it doesn’t read like mindless fluff. Rather it reads as a heartwarming tale of second chances and the little fact that growing old doesn’t mean stopping to live, love and try new things.
