Love Untold: The joyful Sunday Times bestseller and Richard and Judy book club pick 2023

Product Information

This odd couple will go on three magical adventures to save books from people who have imprisoned, mistreated and betrayed them.

But when a brutal killing takes place on their very doorstep, the Thursday Murder Club find themselves in the middle of their first live case. It's a great read, refreshingly free of stereotypes, as we follow events in the lives of the four women in the run-up to Grace's ninetieth birthday. The prime and proper headteacher whose daughter fails all but two exams and a husband who runs to play hippie.

Grace doesn’t want a traditional celebration for her birthday, but her granddaughter Elin has other ideas. She just wants a quiet celebration: her daily swim in the sea and a cup of tea with granddaughter Elin and great-granddaughter Beca. A story of three generations, misunderstandings, heart break, rescue, love and ultimately coming together. That's Grace, nearly ninety; her wayward daughter Alys; Alys's daughter Elin, a headteacher; and Beca, the younger generation, just 16.

This heart-warming story about Grama Grace and her descendants is eventful and fraught with misunderstanding. It is such a well written book, with the characters being fully formed and believable, it had me rooting for the best outcome for them all.

Grace had moved in with John and Cissie Edwards to turn their beautiful home, Syn-yMor, into a guest house. Grace is fast approaching her 90th birthday; the only thing on her mind is a reunion with Alys, the daughter she hasn’t seen for 30 years.

For Alys, Grace’s daughter, Elin’s mother she has been constantly running from herself and has come close throughout her life to time running out.
