That’s where Ed Nicholls, a businessman who is running from his problems but is set on helping out his new acquaintance and her family, comes in. Queue a journey that none of the characters will ever forget.
Have a listen to see what Rebecca, Michelle and Cathy made of Moyes’ latest offering. Warning, there are a couple of spoilers in here if you haven’t read the book yet!
