Veronica McCreedy, at age 85, spends her days mostly alone, in her mansion in Scotland by the sea. She has no family. No friends. The only human interaction Veronica has in her life is with her personal assistant, Eileen, and a gardener who tends to the grounds of her mansion. She is the quintessential lonely, grumpy curmudgeon. She can be found either collecting litter from the beach ('people who litter the countryside should be shot'), trying to locate her glasses ('someone must have moved them') or shouting A warm and witty journey of self-discovery. Prior proves that it’s never too late to become the person you were meant to be. Wendy Wax, bestselling author of MY EX-BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING Small critique aside, How the Penguins Saved Veronica is a treasure. I feel as if I’ve stumbled upon a pot of gold, for having read it. It’s so wonderful.
Away with the Penguins by Hazel Prior | Goodreads
In the worlds’ present state, the story seemed surreal. It was set in a time when people were going about their daily lives, going to work, and travelling. It seems a long time ago. Although these characters are not as immediately charming, they MOST definitely grow on you, and although a young man getting to know an Octogenarian may be a theme of both stories-the similarities end there! Survival against impossible extraterrestrial odds: Invasion ends its second season with hope … and not? (S2, E6-10) Either way, I can’t wait to share this adventure with you and hope you’ll enjoy reading everything I have to offer on Travel Polar.Such a cute book that had me literally laughing out loud! Veronica is probably one of my favourite characters this year for sure!
Away With the Penguins by Hazel Prior Book review: Away With the Penguins by Hazel Prior
Veronica no longer speaks to her family, and she’s searching for a worthy cause to which she will bequeath her fortune. A documentary about penguins in Antarctica inspires her to visit. Yes, Antarctica! I’d love to visit there, too, by the way. When she sees a documentary about penguins being studied in Antarctica, she decided to embark on a journey that will change her. "This year's Eleanor Oliphant . . .Funny, bittersweet and wholly original ". - Daily Express "A warm and witty journey of self-discovery. Prior proves that it's never too late to become the person you were meant to be." - Wendy Wax, bestselling author of MY EX-BEST FRIEND'S WEDDING Veronica doesn't have family or friends nearby. Not that she knows about, anyway . . . And she has no idea where she's going to leave her considerable wealth when she dies.If you are interested in something these days, you simply go ahead and do it. Such opportunities didn’t exist when Iwas young. Not for women anyway.” How much do you agree with Veronica’s observation?
