The Women Who Ran Away

And the secrets that followed them . . .

By: Sheila O'Flanagan

Narrated by: Shelly Atkinson

In Sheila O'Flanagan's engrossing new novel, two women form an unlikely friendship as they face up to shocking truths about the men they've loved - and start to make their own decisions about what to do next....

Deira is setting out on the holiday she'd planned with her long-term partner, Gavin...only she's on her own. Gavin will not be amused when he finds out she's 'borrowed' his car, but since their brutal break-up Deira's not been acting rationally. Maybe a drive through beautiful France will help her see things differently.

Grace has been sent on a journey by her late husband, Ken. She doesn't really want to be on it, but she's following his instructions as always. She can only hope that the trip will help her to forgive him. And then - finally - she'll be able to let him go.

Thrown together by chance, Deira and Grace are soon motoring down the French highways, sharing intriguing stories of their pasts, as they each consider the future....

Critic reviews

"One of my favourite authors." (Marian Keyes)

This is my 5th book by Sheila. Pass on this.

I was looking forward to a nice read. It was an audible and the storyline was poor.
