The Car Share

By: Zoe Brisby

Narrated by: Helen Keeley

A 90-year-old woman with Alzheimer's and a heartbroken young man share a ride to Brussels that ends up changing their lives forever.

When Alex pulls up to meet 'Max', he expects everything but a 90-year-old lady who has her heart set on getting to Brussels by carpool.

As for 'Max', who is actually called Maxine, she could not be more ill at ease when settling into the seat next to this young man with bloodshot eyes. God help her if he turned out to be a drug addict who hasn't slept in days!

When it becomes clear that Maxine is suffering from Alzheimer's and wants to take matters into her own hands while she still can, and that Alex battles severe depression, a wonderful friendship starts to form between the unlikely pair. Before long, their travel plans take an unexpected turn....

Loved it!

A fun, heartwarming story. Very funny and touching at the same time. Highly recommend the audio version of this book.

Together

This story shows how important relationships are and how we can help each other. Much deeper than a quick read.

Good Fun

This is a book for when you are tired and need something fun to rest the mind and have a laugh. The characters are fun and funny as you travel along on a a car drive that begins like a trip from hell but turns out to be just what everyone needs.

Very poor narration

I had read this book and loved it. Thought it would be fun to listen to with my husband on a car trip, but the narrator had such a whiny voice that we only listened to half an hour.
