Synopsis

Don't miss a BRAND NEW laugh-out-loud, uplifting read from the bestselling author of Old Girls on Deck, Maddie Please ⚓️☀️🌴 Perfect for fans of Judy Leigh, Kate Galley and Dee MacDonald! 'Sea, sunshine, romance and fabulous characters' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bestselling author Judy Leigh At 64, Meg Foster is ready to paint outside the lines Newly divorced from overbearing husband Malcom and with only reruns of Bergerac and an irascible black cat called Ivan for company, Meg decides it’s time to add a little colour back into her life. So when she spots a flyer for a local art class at the Lower Begley community centre, she grabs a brush — despite her only painting experience being a half-hearted coat of magnolia in the downstairs loo. Surrounded by a motley crew of charming amateur artists, Meg slowly begins to rediscover her spark with the help of the other old girls…and the only male in the group Dennis. And when someone suggests a painting holiday to sun-soaked Santorini, Meg doesn’t hesitate to sign up. Whitewashed walls, turquoise seas and possibly even a Grecian god or two? Yes please! As the sun sets over the Aegean, Meg starts to realise that life — like art — is all about perspective. Could this trip be more than just a wash of watercolour fun? Could friendship, freedom and a second-chance romance be just a sketch away? Full of heart, humour and hues of every shade, relax with another joyful story from Maddie Please celebrating the power of reinvention, female friendship, and living boldly — no matter your age. Praise for Maddie Please: 'Warm, witty and wonderfully engaging, Maddie takes us to Greece for sun soaked fun with a delightful cast of characters.” Bestselling author Kate Galley 'Warm, funny and poignant with engaging characters, it reminds us that you’re never too old for fun, romance and to learn new things!' Bestselling author Karen King 'A new lease of life under the Greek sun. As fresh and delicious as chilled retsina!' Bestselling author Phillipa Ashley 'For a book that’s as cheering and restorative as a long lunch with your very best friend, Maddie Please is the author you need to know!' Bestselling author Chris Manby 'Genuine and life-affirming…a wonderful, lighthearted novel about how it is never too late to find happiness.’ Bestselling author Kitty Wilson 'A heart-warming story filled with friendship and fun. It's official - I want to be an Old Duck!' Bestselling author Maisie Thomas
