**Don't miss Granny McCreedy's brand-new adventure in Gone with the Penguins - out now!** A
Richard & Judy Book Club and BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick. A truly feel-good book club read - a
#1 bestseller in ebook and audio! 'This year's Eleanor Oliphant . . . Funny bittersweet and
wholly original.' Daily Express Veronica McCreedy is about to have the journey of a lifetime
. . . Veronica McCreedy lives in a mansion by the sea. She loves a nice cup of Darjeeling tea
whilst watching a good wildlife documentary. And she's never seen without her ruby-red
lipstick. Although these days Veronica is rarely seen by anyone because at 85 her days are
spent mostly at home alone. She can be found either collecting litter from the beach ('people
who litter the countryside should be shot') trying to locate her glasses ('someone must have
moved them') or shouting instructions to her assistant Eileen ('Eileen door!'). Veronica
doesn't have family or friends nearby. Not that she knows about anyway . . . And she has no
idea where she's going to leave her considerable wealth when she dies. But today . . . today
Veronica is going to make a decision that will change all of this. 'I love this gorgeous
book. Unflinching stubborn funny and moving Veronica is an unlikely heroine who will sneak
in and capture your heart.' Trisha Ashley Readers are falling in love with Away with the
Penguins : 'Without a doubt the most delightful joyous and uplifting book I've read so far
this year . . . be prepared to fall in love.' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ 'A gloriously quirky and life affirming
story of hope.' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ 'Oh how I loved this absolute gem of a book . Both heartbreaking and
heartwarming.' ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿
