*The Sunday Times bestseller*
Sometimes it takes a lifetime to find where you truly belong…
Seventy-nine is too late for a second chance. Isn’t it?
Missy Carmichael is prickly, stubborn – and terribly lonely. Until a chance encounter in the park with two very different women opens the door to something new. Something wonderful.
Missy was used to her small, solitary existence, listening to her footsteps echoing around the empty house, the tick-tick-tick of the watching clock. After all, she had made her life her way.
Now another life is beckoning to Missy – if she’s brave enough…
‘A touching, deftly written debut that celebrates community and kindness’ Sunday Times
‘Moving and optimistic… will delight readers right up to the very last page’ Stylist
‘Bittersweet, tender, thoughtful and uplifting . . . I loved it’ Nina Stibbe
A Sunday Times #6 hardback bestseller w/e 15th Feb
Beth Morrey was inspired to write her debut novel, Saving Missy, while pushing a pram around her local park during maternity leave. Getting to know the community of dog owners, joggers, neighbours and families, she began to sow the seeds of a novel about a woman saved by the people around her, strangers who became friends.
Previously Creative Director at RDF Television, Beth now writes full time. She was previously shortlisted for the Grazia-Orange First Chapter award, and had her work published in the Cambridge and Oxford May Anthologies while at university.
Beth lives in London with her husband, two sons and a dog named Polly.
