Book Description
The list he left had just one item on it. Or, at least, it did at first…
Mabel Beaumont’s husband Arthur loved lists. He’d leave them for her everywhere. ‘Remember:
eggs, butter, sugar’. ‘I love you: today, tomorrow, always’.
But now Arthur is gone. He died: softly, gently, not making a fuss. But he’s still left her a list. This one
has just one item on it though: ‘Find D’.
Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot, who she hasn’t
seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago.
It seems impossible. She doesn’t even know if Dot’s still alive. Also, every person Mabel talks to
seems to need help first, with missing husbands, daughters, parents. Mabel finds her list is just
getting longer, and she’s still no closer to finding Dot.
What she doesn’t know is that her list isn’t just about finding her old friend. And that if she can
admit the secrets of the past, maybe she could even find happiness again…
A completely heartbreaking, beautiful, uplifting story, guaranteed to make you smile but also make
you cry. Perfect for fans of My Name is Ove, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and The Keeper of
Stories.

This is the third book I have read by this author but it most definitely won't be my last and I've already added the rest of her books to my wish list.

Laura's evocative writing skills sucks the reader seep into the pages bringing the storyline to life along with all the amazing characters. While reading this book you will kept swept away and left feeling happy and filled with warmth. This book is an absolutely stunning and thought provoking read that is perfect to lift your spirits!!

When turning the pages of this must read Laura takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions from heartbreak, happiness, love, sadness, bliss and so much more!! I felt like I was next to Mabel throughout the book. I devoured this book in a few hours as it is one of those that I just could not put down. there were so many times that I told myself that I would just finish the one chapter and then go back to it but that chapter ended in a way that I could not put it down and then the next one did and then the next and so on until I came to very last page. I would absolutely love to see this beauty turned into a movie and I will be at the front of the queue to go and see it!! Laura's writing skills will absolutely absorb you into the book and whether you are in the world you will be devoured in the story in the blink of an eye.
Clear your schedules and grab your tissues. I could not put this stunning heartbreaking, heartwarming stunning book down and devoured it in a few hours!!!
The characters were all an eclectic mix and each one of them were realistic and strong. I was completely invested in them all and I already miss most of them even though I have just closed the pages. I absolutely adored meeting Mabel who is an absolutely amazing and complex woman. In fact all of the characters are intriguing, relatable, strong and I absolutely loved meeting each and everyone one of them. The only disappointment is that they are not actually real as I would love to sit down and have a cuppa with them and get to know even more about them all. It absolutely loved being able to see the characters develop their friendship, amongst other things, seeing them grow in strength and empowering themselves and each other. Mabel and Arthur both reminded me of my own grandparents and they are definitely characters I won't be forgetting any time soon. One of the other things I absolutely adored was the multi generational friendships between the characters and seeing different personalities coming together and discovering all their histories, friendships and secrets. An absolutely amazing gang of characters who will stay with me for a long time and I am already missing them. Laura's evocative writing skills didn't just bring the storyline to life but also this amazing group of characters so another huge well done Laura.
