Viv, Janet and Zelda know all about facing the wobbly first year of becoming a widow as their friendship was forged when they ran away from the same dreary support group. Forming instead the much more lively widows' wine club – The Muscateers – they welcome new member Libby with open arms.
Libby feels lost without Jim, her husband of more than thirty years, but the warmth, friendship and fun the women wrap her up in inspires her to begin to look to the future. When a solo trip to the theatre brings a blast from the past back into her life, things are looking up.
But as cravat-wearing, smooth-talking Monty Charles sweeps Libby off her feet, the women of the Muscateers smell a rat. They know only too well that the first year of widowhood is prime for making mistakes, and they’re determined to protect their friend. And as Monty soon finds out to his cost, never underestimate a Widow on the Wine Path…
Julia Jarman is back with her latest big-hearted tale of love and laughter, friendship and finding your feet. Perfect for all fans of Judy Leigh, Maddie Please and Cathy Kelly.
Today I have the pleasure of taking part in the Widows on the Wine Path tour!
You can read about the book above, but what have people on the tour said so far?
Pickled Thoughts and Pinot – I felt this was an easy read despite the sometimes difficult content and found myself racing through it to discover what would happen next.
Bookish Jottings – Julia Jarman’s Widows on the Wine Path is a hilarious and astute read that brings a tear to the eye. Poignant, warm-hearted and riveting, Widows on the Wine Path is a celebration of friendship, courage and forging forward even when everything seems to be going awry that is sure to strike a chord with readers everywhere.
The Intrepid Reader and Baker – This is a book about a very serious subject and yet it is still surprisingly readable. I loved the friendship between the women, some of the food mentioned in the story sounded delicious and take me away to Greece!!
Bookworm86 – I was crying with laughter at times and screaming in frustration at others so it is definitely a mixed bag and most definitely worth a read!!
iheartbooks.blog – I liked the short chapters and that we see events from each woman’s point of view. The story is easy to get into and I really liked all the great characters and the fun, witty writing style.
And that was only the 1st three days!!!
I hope this has done enough to interest you in the book!
