’WONDERFULLY UPLIFTING’ Trisha Ashley

Sometimes, happiness can be found where you least expect it…

'Absolutely and completely adorable, this all embracing story will break, mend, and fill hearts with warmth, humour and love' LOVEREADING

Twenty-eight-year-old Lana Green has never been good at making friends. She’s perfectly happy to be left alone with her books. Or at least, that’s what she tells herself.

Nancy Ellis Hall was once a celebrated writer. Now eighty, she lives alone in her North London house, and thinks she’s doing just fine. But dementia is loosening Nancy’s grip on the world.

When Lana and Nancy become unconventional house mates, their lives will change in ways they never expected. But can an unusual friendship rescue two women who don’t realise they need to be saved?

An irresistible story of love, memory and the power of friendship that readers of The Keeper of Lost Things and The Lido will adore. Readers love The Forgotten Guide to Happiness ‘A warm, beautiful read … tender and inspiring’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘A truly delightful story about love, friendship and figuring out what matters the most. It wraps itself around you like a warm, comforting blanket and it made me chuckle, a little emotional at times but in the end, pretty happy’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘I wholeheartedly recommend this book to other readers. I can’t wait to see what comes next from this fantastic author. 5* out of 5*’ The Ginger Book Geek

‘An enchanting, thought-provoking read which left me with a massive smile on my face’ The Writing Garnet

‘Oh boy did this novel warm my heart from the top of my head to the tips of my toes … a different kind of love story and will definitely make you think about life, love, friendship, and what really matters in this world’ Goodreads reviewer

‘Endowed with one of the perfect endings, this uplifting book will make you happy irrespective of whether you forgot the feeling or not’ Goodreads reviewer
