Late Learner


Overview

‘A superb writer… the Irish Jojo Moyes. Her books are beautifully written, and infused with warmth, humour and human understanding' Irish Examiner 'An evocative, thought provoking, poignant, and often hilarious read. A terrific book by a superb writer at the top of her game. I loved it' Patricia Scanlan Better late than never … Ronda McCann lives a quiet, careful life. She cycles back and forth to her job at the local care home and plays chess with a robot in the evenings. At forty-four years old, she is perfectly okay with that. But Ronda has a secret. In her daydreams she’s fearless – brave, bold and impossible to ignore. So when her comfortable little world suddenly starts to crumble, Ronda has a choice to make. Keep playing it safe on the sidelines? Or finally step into being the person she’s always imagined herself to be?
