Summary

*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 2024*

Here is the feel-good read you have been looking for... The big-hearted novel brimming with warmth, humour and heart. It's not too late to live the life you want...

'Gorgeous! Warm and funny and brimming with tenderness and heart' GRAHAM NORTON

'Full of Sara Cox's natural warmth and wit' PRIMA

'Relatable, observant and funny' WOMAN & HOME

Josie's life is fine. Absolutely, completely fine.

Nice husband, brilliant best friend, a gorgeous kid at uni. The big house of her dreams on its leafy London street is a lifetime away from the Lancashire farm of her childhood. So what if her mother is tricky, and James isn't in love with Josie any more, and maybe she's not in love with him either? It's great to have time to herself now Chloe's flown the nest . . . isn't it?

This is the life Josie never believed possible. The life she needed when her heart was breaking as a child, when her mum wasn't coping and Josie had to grow up too fast. So why this feeling, nibbling away at the edges of Josie's thoughts? The sense that she has lost something. That she has lost herself.

If Josie is to truly live, she must now take back the reins and confront her future. And to find her way ahead, she needs to go back - way back.

To the place where it all began . . .

way back by Sara cox

loved the story. the easiness if it. set where I around where I live. very relatable as my dad died recently and I felt the emotion in the bool. lobed the human interaction. how everyone made the best of things. life how it should be sorted out. twists and turns but so lobely to listen to Sara's voice.

Lovely northern read (but suitable for all readers) with outstanding descriptive phrases.

Although it took a while for the narrative to build, it was a necessary and interesting build.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the honest insight into the characters. No one is perfect.
Some predictably, some twists, but overall a great listen… I thought about the characters when I was not listening, and I was pleased with outcomes. The ending is clear, but a sequel is possible, isn’t it Sarah Cox? 🤞🏻
PS fab reading.

What a really good book! Thoroughly enjoyed it and didn’t want it to end

I didn’t dislike any of the book at all. In fact I was really surprised with how good it was and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I’m definitely going to be a follower of Sara’s future books - that’s for sure! 😊

I loved this book from the first page to the last. Sara took us on a journey that spanned the decades.

There was nothing to dislike about the book, kept me listening as I was so engrossed.
