A rollicking, big-hearted story of long-lost love, friendship, and a life well-lived, set at a Florida retirement resort for queer women, on the last day of resident Hannah Cardin’s life.
It’s 2067 and Florida is partially underwater, but even that can’t bring down the residents of Palm Meridian Retirement Resort, a utopian home for queer women who want to revel in their twilight years. Inside, Hula-Hoopers shimmy across the grass, fiercely competitive book clubs nearly come to blows, and the roller-ski team races up and down the winding paths. Everywhere you look, these women are living large.
Hannah Cardin has spent ten happy years under these tropical, technicolor skies, but after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, she has decided that tomorrow morning she will close her eyes for the very last time. Tonight, however, Hannah and her raucous band of friends are throwing one hell of an end-of-life party. And with less than twenty-four hours left, Hannah is holding out for one final, impossible thing…
Amongst the guest list is Sophie, the love of Hannah’s life. They haven’t spoken since their devastating breakup over forty years ago, but today, Hannah is hoping for the chance to give her greatest love one last try.
As Hannah anxiously awaits Sophie’s arrival, her mind casts back over the highs and lows of her kaleidoscopic life. But when a shocking secret from the past is revealed, Hannah must reconsider if she can say goodbye after all.
Spanning the course of a single day and seventy-odd years, and bursting with irresistible hope, humor, and wisdom, this one-of-a-kind novel celebrates the unexpected moments that make us feel the most alive.
Keur 10 van dié gewilde liefdesverhaalskrywer sluit drie
bekoorlike verhale in: Die glasappel is ’n heerlike roman
waarin humor en eksentrisiteit sjarmant verweef is.
In Die blou uur besef Klarissa du Toit dat haar man se werk
besig is om ’n wig tussen hulle in te dryf, maar is ’n toekoms sonder
hom wat sy werklik wil hê?
En in Die groen maan kom die protagonis voor die eeueoue
probleem te staan: Besluit jy met jou hart of jou kop wanneer dit kom
by die liefde?
She's good at achieving her goals but the game just got a whole lot more complicated . . .
College senior Sabrina James has her whole future planned out: graduate from college, kick butt in law school, and land a high-paying job at a cut-throat firm. Her path to escaping her shameful past certainly doesn't include a gorgeous hockey player who believes in love at first sight. One night of sizzling heat and surprising tenderness is all she's willing to give John Tucker, but sometimes, one night is all it takes for your entire life to change.
Tucker believes being a team player is as important as being the star. On the ice, he's fine staying out of the spotlight, but when it comes to becoming a daddy at the age of twenty-two, he refuses to be a bench warmer. It doesn't hurt that the soon-to-be mother of his child is beautiful, whip-smart, and keeps him on his toes. The problem is, Sabrina's heart is locked up tight, and the fiery brunette is too stubborn to accept his help. If he wants a life with the woman of his dreams, he'll have to convince her that some goals can only be made with an assist . . .
Meet Claire Walsh.
On the day she gives birth to her first child, Claire's husband James
tells her he's been having an affair, and that now's the right time to
leave her.
Right for who exactly?
Exhausted, tearful and a tiny bit furious, Claire doesn't know what to
do. So she decides to go back to basics . . . and runs home to Mum and
Dad.
But it's not the sanctuary she'd been hoping for. Juggling her sisters'
drama, her parents' pity and the demands of a baby, Claire desperately
misses the way things were. So when James gets back in touch, eager to
put things right, Claire faces a choice.
Will she forgive and forget? Or can she find the courage to take a
chance on herself, and start a life of her own?
