Chasing the sun- Judy Leigh- Women’s fiction
Molly has lived on her own for the last five years since her husband, the
love of her life sadly died. One day her sister Nell arrives on the doorstep
case in hand. She has left her husband who has been having an affair
and Molly welcomes her in. Molly tries to sort out her sister's marriage
but then learns that the new woman is now pregnant- something Nell
doesn't know. To get Nell away and for some much needed R & R, Molly
books them into an apartment in Spain for four months. Sunshine, sand
and sangria- a much needed change for both of them, but after a few
weeks Molly still finds she is missing that certain something- and it's not
a man. I especially loved the part about riding in the sea- for anyone
who has done it- it's an experience to behold. A brilliantly written read
to inspire and one that made me smile.
A story of finding yourself later in life (which applies to all ages) and
not doing what is expected of you. Of being you and perhaps following
your heart a little and living life to the full- whatever that may mean
to you. There are down but there are certainly up’s- make the most
of all of them. Carpe Diem- Seize the day!

Chasing The Sun Sun, Sangria and new starts, from the author of the bestselling Five French Hens. Molly’s seventieth birthday comes as something of a shock. The woman in the mirror certainly looks every day of those seventy years, but inside Molly feels she still has so much more living left to do. Widowed and living alone with her cat Crumper, Molly fears she is slipping into a cliché of old age. When Molly’s sister Nell appears on her doorstep, distraught that her husband of more than forty years, Phil, has left her for a younger lover, the women decide to seize the day. By the morning, flights are booked, bags are packed, and off they go for an adventure in Spain. The sun, the sea, the new friends and the freedom are just the tonic for broken hearts and flagging souls. But even Spain isn’t enough to revive Molly’s spirit. A solo journey to Mexico is booked as Molly continues to chase the sun and to chase happiness. Will she find what she’s looking for in Mexico, or will she discover that true contentment can’t be found on a map, but it might just be found in a new flame. Judy Leigh is back, with her trademark spirit of joie de vivre, fun, warmth and timeless lessons in how to live. Purchase Link - http://amzn.to/2YM7DPf
