A story of hope love and life in the face of cancer and the miracle of second chances.Soon to
be a major movie! When Delia's beloved first husband Jerry died of cancer in 2015 after
thirty-three years of marriage she struggled without him. Floored by grief it never occurred
to her she would find love again. But fate had other ideas. An article she published about the
pain of shutting down Jerry's landline sparked a series of emails with a widower she'd dated in
college fifty years ago and they fell deeply in love. Delia and Peter found themselves soul
mates in their seventies but as their whirlwind romance came into bloom Delia was diagnosed
with leukaemia - the same that had claimed the life of her sister Nora. See-sawing between
tears and laughter Left on Tenth is the spirited story of Delia's second chance at love and a
heartfelt and inspirational account of life after cancer. 'A tale of brilliant hope of
heartache and uplift so refreshing - it is a wonderful read.' Mariella Frostrup 'Illuminating
generous sparkling with wit wisdom humanity and wonder' Rachel Joyce 'I absolutely loved
this book. All of life and death and everything in between is in the pages' Clover Stroud
'Tender witty and romantic ... makes you immediately want to get cosy slow down and shut off
the world for a moment.' Emma Gannon 'If it's possible to fall in love with someone by reading
their story I just have.' Sam Baker
