From the author of beloved Top Ten bestsellers
The Inaugural Meeting of the Fairvale Ladies Book Club
and
The Shelly Bay Ladies Swimming Circle
comes a delightful new novel about friendship, love and finding yourself.
Far North Queensland, 1993:
At 74, former cane farmer
Grace Maud
is feeling her age, and her isolation, and thinks the best of life may be behind her. Elsewhere in town, high school teacher
Patricia
has given up on her dreams of travel and adventure and has moved back home to look after her ageing parents, while cafe owner
Dorothy
is struggling to accept that she may never have the baby she and her husband so desperately want. Each woman has an unspoken need: reconnection. And that's how they find themselves at Orange Blossom House, surrounded by perfumed rainforest, being cajoled and encouraged by their yoga teacher, the lively
Sandrine
. Together, they will find courage and strength - and discover that life has much more to offer than they ever expected.
Set amid the lush beauty of tropical Queensland,
Thursdays at Orange Blossom House
is a heartwarming story of friendship and family, of chances missed and taken, and the eternal power of love.
