With her husband Bernard two years in the grave, seventy-nine-year-old Harriet Chance sets sail on a life-affirming Alaskan cruise only to discover through a series of revelations that she's been living the past sixty years of her life under entirely false pretences. There, amid the buffets and lounge singers, between the imagined appearance of her late husband and the very real arrival of her estranged daughter midway through the cruise, Harriet is forced to take a long look back, confronting the truth about pivotal events that changed the course of her life, all told with humour and warmth. At its heart it is a novel about family ties, misjudged and unlikely friendships, new adventures and the life lesson that karaoke is not a kind of food.
