    Since her daughter grew up and left home, Sandy has found herself filling her house with things - impulse purchases that she just has to have but that quickly lose their sheen. Why would she need an expensive set of copper pans when she has no one to cook for?

    Realising that her shopping habit is out of control, she asks herself: can she de-clutter, downsize and start a new life? She has always wanted to live on a barge, and she reasons that there is no way she would have room for random purchases on a boat. Taking the bravest decision of her life, Sandy buys and refurbishes a barge in the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

    Relishing her independence, she is not looking for love, but as the nights draw in and the leaves start to fall from the trees, she finds herself drawn to cafe owner and expert hot chocolate maker Abe. Is she willing to take a second chance on finding the one?

    A funny, relatable later-in-life romance that fans of Milly Johnson, Sue Moorcroft and Julie Caplin will adore.


    Sarah John is new to audiobook narrating building on her voice acting career from being on commercials for the British Heart Foundation and Zurich. She brings her bright and bubbly personality into this new beginning romance audiobook.
