About this listen
The new novel from the number one best-selling author about chance and falling in love.
Meet George and Alice....
Three facts about George
His daughter, Suzi, is the best thing in his life.
His job teaching in the local primary school comes a close second.
He's never tried online dating but there's a first time for everything.
Three facts about Alice
Her boyfriend of six months has a wife she knew nothing about.
She never thought that at the age of 32 she would be returning to her childhood home town—jobless and homeless.
While her heart might have been trampled on, somewhere deep inside she's still holding out for love.
One fact about love
It's everywhere—or nowhere—depending on where you look.
This is the story of George and Alice, two lonely hearts unknowingly orbiting each other's lives. But will their paths converge - and what will happen if they do?

Somewhere between begrudging interest and indifference
I think I sadly I’m going to have to agree that the narrator for this story didn’t work. The same narrator was great for Róisín Meaney’s book The R
estaurant, but her tone was far too sombre, for what in fact was quite a uplifting story by the end.
If you like books that contain the minuti of life (such as washing up and putting knives in a cutlery drawer) and you will enjoy this story. The last chapter was great.

Ok
it was ok, but I won't remember it in a few weeks. Didn't leave that special feeling you get sometimes when you finish a really great book, sadly.

Loved the story
Great story, dreadful narrator. I will try more from this author with a different narrator.

Okey but underwhelming
The story was ok but could have done without the constant description lists that had me shouting ‘Get on with it!’ . The narrator’s intonation was very strange and became annoying.

Another great story from Meaney
I liked this sweet and touching story so much. The narrator was perfect for reading this and made the book very enjoyable.

Nice story- annoying production
It was a nice yarn but the prerecorded “ he said” or “ George said” dropped in sounded dreadful and ruined the flow. It made it hard to listen to. The story itself could have been enjoyable without this distraction.
