Description
A curmudgeonly but charming old woman, her estranged grandson, and a colony of penguins proves it's never too late to be the person you want to be in this rich, heartwarming story from the acclaimed author of Ellie and the Harpmaker.
Eighty-five-year-old Veronica McCreedy is estranged from her family and wants to find a worthwhile cause to which to leave her fortune. When she sees a documentary about penguins being studied in Antarctica, she tells the scientists she's coming to visit - and won't take no for an answer. Shortly after arriving, she convinces the reluctant team to rescue an orphaned baby penguin. He becomes part of life at the base, and Veronica's closed heart starts to open.
Her grandson, Patrick, comes to Antarctica to make one last attempt to get to know his grandmother. Together, Veronica, Patrick, and even the scientists learn what family, love, and connection are all about.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A warm and witty journey of self-discovery. Prior proves that it's never too late to become the person you were meant to be. But it might require a trip to Antarctica. And penguins." (Wendy Wax, USA Today best-selling author of My Ex-Best Friend's Wedding)
"Veronica McCreedy is an unforgettable heroine. Crotchety, clever and oddly lovable, she kept me turning pages well into the night. Prior has given us a story of love, loss, forgiveness, and the unlikely bonds that form when we least expect it. Humorous and true with finely-drawn characters." (Elyssa Friedland, author of The Floating Feldmans)
"A beautiful expedition into Antarctica, but more importantly, the human heart. Hazel Prior has written a sweet and timely story about how one cranky old woman is no match for a tiny, adorable penguin chick." (Brooke Fossey, author of The Big Finish)

Delightful
This was my first Audible book introduced to me by my daughter. She was so right, I enjoyed it immensely. The performances were extraordinary and brought the story to life. I would recommend it to anyone......so many life lessons to be learned from Veronica!

sweet story, great narration
Loved listening to the voices. The story itself was sweet, quirky, had some drama/human interest. Nothing revolutionary but a thoroughly enjoyable, pleasant and 'feel good' novel.
