Chasing the Sun (Unabridged)

Sun, Sangria and new starts, from the author of the bestselling Five French Hens.

Molly's seventieth birthday comes as something of a shock. The woman in the mirror certainly looks every day of those seventy years, but inside Molly feels she still has so much more living left to do. Widowed and living alone with her cat Crumper, Molly fears she is slipping into a cliché of old age.

When Molly's sister Nell appears on her doorstep, distraught that her husband of more than forty years, Phil, has left her for a younger lover, the women decide to seize the day. By the morning, flights are booked, bags are packed, and off they go for an adventure in Spain.

The sun, the sea, the new friends and the freedom are just the tonic for broken hearts and flagging souls. But even Spain isn't enough to revive Molly's spirit. A solo journey to Mexico is booked as Molly continues to chase the sun and to chase happiness. Will she find what she's looking for in Mexico, or will she discover that true contentment can't be found on a map, but it might just be found in a new flame.

Judy Leigh is back, with her trademark spirit of joie de vivre, fun, warmth and timeless lessons in how to live.
