"The Golden Girls’ Road Trip takes the reader along the adventure as two 70-year-old friends embark on a journey around Britain."
Seventy-year-old Constance Fitzgerald gets more than she bargains for when she embarks on a cross-country trip with an old friend in The Golden Girls’ Road Trip by Kate Galley.
At the outset, the future of Constance—Connie to her friends—seems set, with marriage to Leo and impending grandparenthood all in the near future. But dreams of that sensible future end after she accidentally discovers some painful truths. Connie impulsively drives her raspberry red camper van Ruby up to Scotland looking for adventure.
The trip is to see her friend and long-lost love, the painter Alex Mackenzie. Connie hasn’t seen Alex since abruptly leaving when they were both 18. They have much to catch up on, including secrets and recriminations, but first Alex asks Connie to help deliver some paintings up and down the country. Connie and Alex jump into Ruby to get the deliveries done, but Connie has more questions than answers for her friend. In every town they stop in, Connie buys another ball of wool to add to the colourful blanket she’s crocheting for her future grandchild.
These two 70-year-olds are ready for adventure, know their own minds, and are not afraid to say so. The old friends eventually fall into an easy rhythm, as they rediscover why they were such good friends so many decades before.
Long friendships are something special, but being able to fall back into a special friendship after decades apart, is very special indeed. The Golden Girls’ Road Trip takes the reader along for the adventure.
