""One adorably British odd couple . . . Charming."" — People
“An exquisitely poignant tale of life, friendship and facing death . . . heart-breaking yet ultimately uplifting . . Everyone should read this book.” — Ruth Hogan, author of Queenie Malone’s Paradise Hotel
Infused with the emotional power of Me Before You and the irresistible charm of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and Be Frank with Me, a moving and joyous novel about an elderly woman ready to embrace death and the little girl who reminds her what it means to live.
It's never too late to start living.
Eudora Honeysett is done with this noisy, moronic world—all of it. She has witnessed the indignities and suffering of old age and has lived a full life. At eighty-five, she isn’t going to leave things to chance. Her end will be on her terms. With one call to a clinic in Switzerland, a plan is set in motion.
Then she meets ten-year-old Rose Trewidney, a whirling, pint-sized rainbow of sparkling cheer. All Eudora wants is to be left alone to set her affairs in order. Instead, she finds herself embarking on a series of adventures with the irrepressible Rose and their affable neighbor, the recently widowed Stanley—afternoon tea, shopping sprees, trips to the beach, birthday celebrations, pizza parties.
While the trio of unlikely BFFs grow closer and anxiously await the arrival of Rose’s new baby sister, Eudora is reminded of her own childhood—of losing her father during World War II and the devastating impact it had on her entire family. In reflecting on her past, Eudora realizes she must come to terms with what lies ahead.
But now that her joy for life has been rekindled, how can she possibly say goodbye?

The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett - Annie Lyons.🎧 Kolejny audiobook przesłuchany na Storytel. Książka, której w Polsce (niestety!) nie ma. Obyczajowka, o 85 letniej Eudorze, która nie chce wylądować w domu opieki, nie chce się jeszcze bardziej zestarzeć, wiec postanawia.. zadbać o godny koniec..↔️ Historia starszej Eudory przeplata się tutaj z rozdziałami o jej młodości, od II Wojny Światowej, od momentu gdy miała około 10 lat. Przeskakując na osi czasu, czujemy jak bardzo zmieniła się bohaterka, przez doświadczenia życiowe, i jak wiele z nich było tragicznych i smutnych, a jak niewiele pozytywnych. .📘Znowu książka z motywem śmierci oraz starzenia sie, poświęcania życia innym, zapominając o swoim. O miłości wśród członków rodziny, ktora przybiera różne formy. O zdradzie, tęsknocie i załamaniu. Ale tez o odnalezieniu szczęścia, w tym świecie, w tych czasach, w tym wieku. .🧓🏻 Może się wydawać, że książka jest dołująca, ale tak naprawdę nie jest. Życie Eudory staje się pełne ra
