It tells the heartwarming story of a strong and enduring friendship that grows between two Game Makers who meet as they are volunteering for the 2012 London Olympics.
Francesca "Frannie" Hartford has joined the team of volunteers, but she has just lost the love of her life, her husband and her Rock of Gibraltar, Donald.
Without his great support and love, can she still make it as a volunteer?
Despite her misgivings, she decides that she will still become a volunteer.
She meets a fellow volunteer Games Maker, Jessica. Jessica is different to Francesca. She is a young student, somewhat bolshy, very extrovert, outspoken and maybe a little bit intimidating to some as she can seem a bit overpowering.
But despite, or perhaps because of their difference,s they become very good friends.
Eventually Francesca realises that her friend Jessica is also suffering from a loss in her own life.
The novel is an intelligently and very movingly written exploration of their lives and how they interrelate with the other volunteer Game Makers, their own friends and family members and the other people they meet and get to know during the 2012 Olympic Games.
It costs £7.99 and will be an ideal novel to read this summer and during the 2016 Rio Olympics.
It is available via the That's Books and Entertainment bookshop, which you will find ot the right of this review.
