. . . 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.' *****
