Inspired by true events, follow 79-year-old Shirley's heartwarming final adventure with her husband. 'I want to be Shirley when I grow up.' RACHAEL JOHNS 'Beautiful, breathtaking and heart-wrenching.' AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S WEEKLY 'Elderly. Is that how the world sees me? A helpless little old lady? If only they knew. I allow myself a small smirk.' A Daring Escape When Shirley Sullivan signs her 83-year-old husband, Frank, out of the Sunset Lodge Nursing Home, she has no intention of bringing him back. A Lifetime of Memories For fifty-seven years the couple has shared love, happiness and heartbreak. And while Frank may not know who his wife is these days, he knows he wants to go home. Back to the beach where they met in the early 1960s . . . A Final Act of Love So Shirley enacts an elaborate plan to evade the authorities - and their furious daughter, Fiona - to give Frank the holiday he'd always dreamed of. And, in doing so, perhaps Shirley can make amends for a lifelong guilty secret . . . ------------------------ 'With both humour and heart, The Secret Life of Shirley Sullivan takes the reader on a (literal) journey - in a Kombi van! - following one couple's unconventional love story, and examining the lengths a person will go to to right the wrongs of a lifetime. This is Lisa Ireland's breakout novel for sure.' SALLY HEPWORTH 'Lisa Ireland's writing is simply magical, and Shirley's charming and heartfelt story brought me to tears again and again. The Secret Life of Shirley Sullivan is one of my favourite books, ever.' KELLY RIMMER 'This moving story, celebrating ageing and all types of love, will leave you with a smile on your face and warmth in your heart.' RACHAEL JOHNS
