Summary
Twenty-nine-year-old Rayann Germaine, betrayed by her lover, flees in grief and rage. She meets book-store owner Louisa Thatcher, a woman many years her senior, who offers shelter and work...and soon, passion, and a loving place in her life.
But Rayann encounters challenges to this new love - from friends who question its wisdom, from her mother who disapproves of this liaison with a woman her own contemporary, from Louisa's son who learns for the first time his mother's true sexuality.
And there are profound differences between Rayann and Louisa themselves, two women who come from dramatically different places in the spectrum of age and life experience. Their only common ground seems to be the searing attraction that they both try to deny....

A teasing age-gap romance
Wow - I’ve read (or listened) to a few books by Karen Kallmaker but this is my favourite yet.
I loved this and probably because I can relate totally to Louisa; the 56 year old who remained closeted from friends and family for many years carrying fear of the consequences of her sexuality being discovered. Sadly unlike Louisa I don’t have a 29 lover who adores me…dream on.
And yes I’m still in love with Angela Dawe’s voice too.

Outstanding
I have never read this book before but if I had it would already be in my top 5! If anybody is going to give a great story it’s worth in narration it’s Angela Dawe. Louisa’s voice is knee tremblingly gooood. Truly outstanding and now in my top 5 audiobooks for re-listens.

Lovely slow burner!
This is a great lingering story. A lovely, slow build relationship and a mixture of characters makes this a beautiful 'must read' story.

Cringey throughout
The narration was nice - pleasant to listen to. However the story Angela had to work with was sickly sweet. Quite weird. I’ve been in a relationship with a woman nearly twice my age - this story made we cringe throughout it. Mmmh. My least favourite wlw book I’ve listened to.
