It's Time To Let Me Go by Cheryl Waters
Thank you @rararesources and @cheryl_writes for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book.
What a beautiful read. I was so sad the book had to end I felt like the characters were family. Audrey, Sam, Olive and Lucinda. The story is set in Cavtat which sounds beautiful and the story is told by Audry, Olive and. Lucinda about their time aboard. It's time to let go is about friendship, loss. Love and happiness. The story pulled out my heartstrings especially Olive's story she goes throughout. I absolutely adored this book and was lost in the character's journeys. The ending was brilliant and this would make a great summer read. The story is written beautifully and this is the first book I have read by Cheryl Waters, I will be looking out for her others. Awesome read 5 stars.
It’s Time to Let Me Go
You’re doing what? You can’t go away on your own, Mum. Not at your age!’ It was ‘Not at your age’
that made Audrey decide that she was going away, even if it was the last-damned-thing-she-ever-did.
She was a widow, not dead. Life must go on!
Olive has spent the last fifty years married to George, who has made it his life’s work to control every
aspect of her day. What they ate. What she wore. Whom she spent time with. So, when her mother
leaves her an inheritance, Olive seizes the chance to book her dream holiday. Will she be able to lay
some memories to rest or does George have other ideas?
Lucinda, mother of teens, has lost her way since her ex cheated on her. It’s not so much Netflix and
chill as Netflix and Sauvignon Blanc. Her loving, despairing widowed father persuades her to take a
trip with him to Croatia, where he holidayed with her mother. With no better offers on the table, she
reluctantly agrees to go.
As Audrey, Olive and Lucinda begin their holiday in beautiful Cavtat, one person’s misfortune begins
to benefit them all. And as they become the most unlikely of friends, they realise that you are never
too old to seize the day, to live life to the full and to make memories to last a lifetime.
Author Bio –
Born in London, Cheryl grew up in Cheshire. Cheryl married Phil in 1991 and that same year they
moved to Scotland where they both worked in Edinburgh & grew a family of two children. In 2011,
with the young adults off at University, Cheryl’s dream of living in France became a reality.
Renovating an early 19th-century farmhouse, in 2014 Cheryl & Phil made the permanent move to
the Creuse region of southwest France, opening their B&B.
Whilst Cheryl had talked of writing a novel for many years, between the demands of full-time work
and all that comes with a young family, there never seemed to be the time.
Moving to France brought the opportunity of a (slightly) quieter lifestyle, and then Coronavirus
arrived, pausing the world, halting the B&B and delivering long stretches of precious free time! So,
one such time- led day, Cheryl typed an opening sentence into the computer. After eighteen months
of writing, re-writing, and learning how to publish later the debut novel; “In My Mother’s Footsteps”
was ready.
What was originally a dream to simply write a book “one day” had become a tangible result. Cheryl is
now on her third, book due out this year, and plans to keep writing! If you would like to contact
Cheryl, she would love to hear from you. www.facebook.com/cherylwaterswrites
