Late Learner

‘A superb writer… the Irish Jojo Moyes. Her books are beautifully written, and infused with warmth, humour and human understanding' Irish Examiner Better late than never …

Ronda McCann lives a quiet, careful life. She cycles back and forth to her job at the local care home and plays chess with a robot in the evenings. At forty-four years old, she is perfectly okay with that.

But Ronda has a secret.

In her daydreams she’s fearless – brave, bold and impossible to ignore.

So when her comfortable little world suddenly starts to crumble, Ronda has a choice to make.

Keep playing it safe on the sidelines? Or finally step into being the person she’s always imagined herself to be?
