The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker
'This delightful book is a MUST read. Put everything down including the book you are reading now and pick up this book right NOW!! It's such an enchanting, wonderful and endearing book' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As the wife of retired ship's doctor Dr Henry Parker, Evelyn is living out her twilight years aboard the Golden Sunset. Every night she dresses for dinner - gown, tiara, runners - and regales her fellow passengers with stories of a glamorous life travelling the world in luxury. The crew treat her with deference. And forbearance.
But when Henry goes missing, Evelyn sets off to search every part of the grand ocean liner to find him - casino, nightclub and off-limits areas included.
The misadventures, scandalous behaviour and new friends that make up her search are all news to Evelyn, though. If only she could remember recent events as clearly as she can recall the first time she met Henry on a passage from England to Australia in 1953 and fell in love . . .
Why is it so hard to forget some things and so hard to remember others? And where is Henry?
A poignant ode to love and the memories that make a well-lived life. Fans of Judy Leigh, Jill Mansell and Sally Page will fall in love with this beautiful tale.
