Old Girls Go Greek
About the Book:
At 64, Meg Foster is ready to paint outside the lines
Newly divorced from overbearing husband Malcom and with only reruns of Bergerac and an irascible black cat called Ivan for company, Meg decides it’s time to add a little colour back into her life. So when she spots a flyer for a local art class at the Lower Begley community centre, she grabs a brush — despite her only painting experience being a half-hearted coat of magnolia in the downstairs loo.
Surrounded by a motley crew of charming amateur artists, Meg slowly begins to rediscover her spark with the help of the other old girls…and the only male in the group
As the sun sets over the Aegean, Meg starts to realise that life — like art — is all about perspective. Could this trip be more than just a wash of watercolour fun? Could friendship, freedom and a second-chance romance be just a sketch away?
Full of heart, humour and hues of every shade, relax with another joyful story from Maddie Please celebrating the power of reinvention, female friendship, and living boldly — no matter your age.
My Review:
Old Girls Go Greek is a fantastic women's fiction novel with older characters. Shortly after her divorce, Meg Foster realizes how quiet her life is now. She decides she needs more excitement in her life. After some failed attempts to find a new hobby, she signs up for an art class. Here, Meg finds exactly what her life had been missing. Sometimes all you need is a found family to keep you company. When the group of amateur artists decide to take a trip to Santorini, Greece, Meg jumps at the chance to live outside the box. She may be self-conscious and have low self-confidence, but she put herself out there in a new town where she doesn't know anyone. I love that about her.
I enjoyed Old Girls Go Greek. It's a heartwarming tale of a woman divorced later in life that has to learn how to be alone and build a new like but only around her, and not anyone else. I loved watching her personality unfold and her confidence level build. The story was fun with strong characters and vivid scenery. The author's writing style is smooth and conversational, flowing well without any awkwardness.
I have not read any other books by Maddie Please but I will certainly be remedying that sooner rather than later.
