The new novel from the bestselling author of Where'd You Go Bernadette
⭐ 'Smart, funny and devastating in a great way' Jennette McCurdy ⭐
⭐ 'I felt both cleverer and sillier after finishing this book' Guardian ⭐
⭐ 'Loaded with Maria Semple's signature wit' Bonnie Garmus ⭐
Adora Hazzard has it all figured out.
A contented divorcée, she relishes her teenage daughter, her job as a moral tutor for an old-money family and the bliss of finally being solo.
Alone but far from lonely, she's also quietly assembling a 'coven' of like-minded single women on the sixth floor of the legendary Ansonia building on New York's Upper West Side. Together, they share groceries, dog walkers - and one dirty little secret: despite their age, they're only just getting started.
Adora's life philosophy is simple: want only what you already have. But could a chance encounter with a charming stranger threaten her joyfully curated life and leave Adora suddenly wanting more - even if she must risk everything to get it?
Go Gentle is a thrilling story of one woman's mid-life transformation, a romance with wit and a globe-trotting mother-daughter story, all wrapped in a mystery with a socko twist.
