About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Us Three written and read by Ruth Jones, co-creator of Gavin & Stacey and author of the smash-hit, number one bestselling debut, Never Greener.

Friends forever is a difficult promise to keep...

Meet Lana, Judith and Catrin. Best friends since primary school when they swore an oath on a Curly Wurly wrapper that they would always be there for each other, come what may.

After the trip of a lifetime, the three girls are closer than ever. But an unexpected turn of events shakes the foundation of their friendship to its core, leaving their future in doubt - there's simply too much to forgive, let alone forget. An innocent childhood promise they once made now seems impossible to keep....

Packed with all the heart and empathy that made Ruth's name as a screenwriter and now author, Us Three is a funny, moving and uplifting novel about life's complications, the power of friendship and how it defines us all. Prepare to meet characters you'll feel you've known all your life - prepare to meet Us Three.

"I love books about gnarly, messy relationships and this one kept me gripped from the beginning. A great read." (Jane Fallon, best-selling author of Tell Me a Secret)

"Easy to read and full of laughter - and truth." (Daily Mail)

Relatable book with excellent narrator

What a fabulous book, the first one I’ve listened/read by Ruth, I’m looking forward to listening to more.

I loved Ruth as a narrator, it really brought the characters to life with their accents and local dialect.

I also loved being able to identify with the areas within the book and pick up on clues of where they actually were when changed to be fictitious. Hearing Pensycynor bird garden ms being mentioned took me back to my own childhood

Thank you for such an excellent book
