Book description
Imagine the sheer delight of sinking into a plush chair, a cocktail in hand, and hearing Celia Imrie herself narrate this utterly charming escape. Forget the stress of the shore; Sail Away transports you straight to the deck of an Atlantic cruise ship, where two wonderfully flawed women discover life's unexpected adventures. As Joanna Lumley declared, it's a "dashing roller coaster," and Imrie's warm, witty voice makes every twist feel like a shared secret. Suzy, the actress whose career's hitting a quiet patch, and Amanda, navigating a flat-lease disaster in Clapham, are perfectly paired for a voyage filled with eccentric crew, suspicious dealings, and the kind of old-world glamour that makes you long for a past era of travel. Julian Fellowes' description - "a very witty woman. Hugely entertaining" - is spot-on; Imrie doesn't just tell this story, she inhabits it, her narration brimming with playful irony and genuine warmth. You'll hear the clink of glasses, the murmur of the crew, and feel the sea breeze as Suzy and Amanda navigate mishaps and find unexpected joy. Good Housekeeping was right: Imrie guarantees a smile, and this audiobook is pure, effortless joy. It's the perfect antidote to a slow day-like curling up with a friend who's just returned from the most thrilling, slightly ridiculous trip imaginable, and can't wait to tell you all about it. Let Imrie's voice be your guide to a world where every port of call holds a surprise, and the journey is as delightful as the destination. Don't just read it; listen to this sparkling, heartwarming escape.
