Sophia Gregory has lost her sparkle.... Recently single and about to turn 60, Sophia doesn’t recognise the old woman staring back at her in the mirror. How has life passed her by? A quiet holiday in beautiful Rhodes is the perfect chance for her to find herself.

Until she meets the Old Ducks!

Juliette, Kim and Anita are three friends who are determined not to grow old gracefully! Bold and brash, they are Sophia’s worse nightmare, until they make her an honorary member of The Old Ducks’ Club! Now dancing and drinking till dawn Sophia starts to shake off her stuffy old life and start living again!

And when she meets her gorgeous Greek neighbour, Theo, she thinks that maybe, if she’s just a little braver, she can learn to love again too....

It’s never too late to teach an Old Duck new tricks!

A rip-roaring, laugh out loud story about the importance of friendship and always, always having fun!

Wonderful

I loved it, it made me smile, laugh out loud and cry. In the darkness of my bedroom it transported me to the sunshine of Rhodes and the companionship of new friends.
Now the narration, it was sheer perfection. Everyone had a different voice and she gave such warmth to them, she was a joy to listen to. I hope to find myself listening to more of her narrations. ❤️

Lovely escapism for “ducks” of a certain age!

Really enjoyed this book. It is well written and well thought out. Go ahead and click.

Pleasant easy read

A feel good easy read but not gripping at all. Didn’t like the strange men’s voices. Should have got actual men to do them. Overall very pleasant though.

Brilliant

This was a lovely story, that makes you think.!!! When you are nearing 60 life should be full of change and adventure, not just focusing on what you can't do anymore, but what you can do. I can't wait to start on the next Old Ducks Book. Very Highly Recommended .

This Old Duck loved it!

The perfectly predictable easy summer read. Brilliant characters with traits a lot of people could relate to. It made me laugh out loud and be thankful for my very own ‘old ducks club’.

Very Entertaining

I found this book great fun. The characters were all quite believable and allowed to be real people. Although I think Theo is just too good to be true!!!
