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.'
