I am so happy that I received a review copy for this book. I absolutely loved the cover photo of the book. It is very simple yet attractive.

It is the third of Anne Goodwin's trilogy following the life of Matilda Windsor. In this story Matilda's hundredth birthday is approaching. This is the first time I am reading a book by Anne Goodwin And I took some time to understand what is happening in the story. But once I understood the plot I was actually loving it. The plot and character development is just fantastic. The way she has expressed the emotions of the characters I could visualise each and everything.

Matty is happily situated in a new care home where she is planning her hundredth birthday but life and Covid-19 gets in the way. Matty finds it difficult to understand what actually happened in 2020 when all the events of this incredible year are played out.

There are many other characters also in this book which the author with her skillful writing made it interesting to read. It was a really emotional read for me because I could feel the unfairness of her life through this book but to be honest her humour made Matty a very lovable character.

I will definitely recommend everyone to read this book but before reading it please do read the other two books Stolen Summers and Matilda Windsor Is Coming Home. It will help you to understand this book better and trust me you are going to love it.
