The Last List Of Mabel Beaumont

The list he left had just one item on it. Or, at least, it did at first... Mabel Beaumont's husband Arthur loved lists. He'd leave them for her everywhere. 'Remember: eggs, butter, sugar'. 'I love you: today, tomorrow, always'. But now Arthur is gone. He died: softly, gently, not making a fuss. But he's still left her a list. This one has just one item on it though: 'Find D'. Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot, who she hasn't seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago. It seems impossible. She doesn't even know if Dot's still alive. Also, every person Mabel talks to seems to need help first, with missing husbands, daughters, parents. Mabel finds her list is just getting longer, and she's still no closer to finding Dot. What she doesn't know is that her list isn't just about finding her old friend. And that if she can admit the secrets of the past, maybe she could even find happiness again... A completely heartbreaking, beautiful, uplifting story, guaranteed to make you smile but also make you cry. Perfect for fans of My Name is Ove, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and The Keeper of Stories. Readers are absolutely loving The Last List of Mabel Beaumont: 'I've just finished The Last List of Mabel Beaumont. Be still my beating heart. I've smiled and I've cried and everything in between. Most importantly I've learned... I'd give it 10 stars if I could.' Nicki's Book Blog 'This beautifully written story of friendship, love, loss and second chances captured my heart. It's a tender and uplifting read and I adored Mabel and her unlikely gang of colourful characters. If you enjoy a book that leaves you feeling warm, hopeful, and satisfied, The Last List of Mabel Beaumont is definitely for you.' Lisa Timoney, author 'I absolutely loved this book... I adore an older protagonist who's portrayed as a real person, with opinions and regrets, and who is feisty and not afraid to speak her mind. The story is like a warm hug - but it had spark and wit and humour too. I loved it, and was bereft when I finished it (far too) late last night!... Gorgeous!' Clare Swatman, author 'Well, I finished this in the same 24 hours as I started it. Oh... what a beautiful story and an amazing cast of characters. Poignant and inspiring!' Jennie Godfrey, author 'Such a poignant story. Brought a lump to my throat in many places... Will really appeal to fans of Joanna Cannon.' Karen Angelico, author
