Description

 

When Delia’s beloved first husband Jerry died of cancer in 2015, after thirty-three years of marriage, she struggled without him.

Floored by grief, it never occurred to her she would find love again.

But fate had other ideas. An article she published about the pain of shutting down Jerry’s landline sparked a series of emails with a widower she’d dated in college fifty years ago, and they fell deeply in love.

Delia and Peter found themselves soul mates in their seventies, but as their whirlwind romance came into bloom, Delia was diagnosed with leukaemia – the same that had claimed the life of her sister Nora.

See-sawing between tears and laughter, Left on Tenth is the spirited story of Delia’s second chance at love, and a heartfelt and inspirational account of life after cancer.

A tale of brilliant hope, of heartache and uplift, so refreshing – it is a wonderful read’ – Mariella Frostrup

Illuminating, generous, sparkling with wit, wisdom, humanity and wonder’ – Rachel Joyce

I absolutely loved this book. All of life and death and everything in between is in the pages’ – Clover Stroud

Tender, witty and romantic…makes you immediately want to get cosy, slow down and shut off the world for a moment’ – Emma Gannon

If it’s possible to fall in love with someone by reading their story, I just have’ – Sam Baker
