From the bestselling author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep comes a warm and captivating tale of loss and new opportunities.
I was hooked from the very first chapter, and I couldn’t wait to come here and tell you about this one – especially with signed & dedicated editions closing soon ahead of its June release. Having been a fan of Joanna’s writing since… as long as she has been published actually…it’s an honour to have the opportunity to read this one ahead of publication.
Joanna Cannon has such a gift for storytelling, and An Unlikely Visitor is no exception. There’s a quiet warmth running through it, even as it explores deeply devastating moments. This book will gently hold your hand through grief while also reminding you about the beauty of living. And isn’t that exactly what we need?
‘At the end of the day, the life we are so certain must be ours is only ever lent to us for a while.’
This story balances loss with wonder, sorrow with hope, and ultimately leaves you thinking about what it really means to make peace with life as it is. It feels timely, no matter your experience of grief, offering comfort that perhaps many of us crave right now. With just the right amount of humour, comedic moments and poignancy, An Unlikely Visitor is perfection in a book. Don’t miss this one. Truly, you won’t regret it.
About the Book
Margaret thinks her time is up…
Things have been hard since her husband Derek died, and they never really got over the disappearance of their daughter, Jeanie, all those years ago.
Despite everything, they built a lovely life together… it’s just starting to feel impossible for Margaret on her own.
But maybe her time is now?
Then one day, Margaret returns home to an unlikely visitor, and together they set out to discover what really happened to Jeanie.
Perhaps if you knock on enough doors, you might find another end to your story
