About this listen
"Hilarious! I loved every page...reminded me of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry." - Dawn at Crooks on Books
One evening in early August, while mashing potatoes for dinner, Connie McColl decides she’s had enough. Sixty-six-year-old wife and grandmother, Connie, is tired of solving one family crisis after another, while her husband Roger spends all day at his beloved golf course. Surely it must be time for her to shake off her apron and start living again? So Connie packs a bag, gets in her little green car and drives off.
On her journey from England to Scotland, Connie stops in on long-lost friends and makes all sorts of interesting new companions along the way. As Connie has the time of her life, sleeping under the stars and skinny dipping in the sea, she finally begins to rediscover herself. And she starts to wonder, will she ever be ready to return home? Or could this summer change her life forever?
Connie’s begins to discover that it’s never too late to have some fun and you’re never too old for an adventure.
The Runaway Wife is an inspiring and joyously uplifting novel. If you loved The Kicking the Bucket List and A Man Called Ove then this funny audiobook is for you.

The story includes several characters that in real life would be considered rough or unsavoury but each one turns out to be a gem and is a little mini life lesson on not judging a book by its cover. I think we should all try to be a bit more like Connie.
The performance of this book by Diana Croft is second to none. She always reads each character so individually that you can clearly picture them all as the story unfolds. I don’t know how she has mastered so many accents and voices! She is amazing!
This book would be enjoyed by women who feel stuck in a rut and who long to escape. The story is refreshing and hilarious! I did find myself laughing out loud quite a few times!
And now I’m sad that it’s over and I miss Connie already. :(
So much fun I didn’t want it to end!
