Away with the Penguins

This year’s Eleanor Oliphant … Funny, bittersweet and wholly original. * Daily Express *A glorious, life-affirming story. I read it in a day. I’m going to buy it for so many people this year! * Clare Mackintosh *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 *A warm and witty journey of self-discovery. Prior proves that it’s never too late to become the person you were meant to be. * Wendy Wax, bestselling author of MY EX-BEST FRIEND’S WEDDING *A warm-hearted and life-affirming tale about ageing, human kindness, old-fashioned values and protecting our planet. * Culturefly *A touching, uplifting tale. * Jo Wiley, Radio 2 Book Club *Love is not simple; it is the most complex of all the experiences we encounter. Caring for an orphaned penguin liberates the love Veronica had withheld for decades. At the age of eighty-six, the world is all at once at her feet. I commend this novel as a work of art, written in a prose so fluent that it all but reads itself to you. And the creation of the character of Veronica, just by itself, deserves high praise. * Robert Hillman, author of THE BOOKSHOP OF THE BROKEN HEARTED *
