Description

Three women and the healing power of friendship, an uplifting story for readers of Rachael Johns and Joanna Nell. A heartwarming and evocative novel of love, friendship and family, where hope overcomes all - even terrible hospital coffee. Andie has no memory of the man who pushed her out of the way of a speeding car. A week before Coral's biggest career highlight, her mum has a fall. And the last thing Mara wants is to be assigned to work at the hospital bedside of the much-despised senior partner of her law firm. Andie, Coral and Mara become the daily visitors to the three patients at the end of East Wing at Hepburn House Rehabilitation Hospital. The balcony that connects the three rooms provides an oasis, a healing place, but more than that, too: a place where their lives will interconnect and never be quite the same again... Praise for The View from the Balcony 'I loved this celebration of strength, sisterhood and the power within us to change the things we can. A powerful, nuanced story.' AMANDA HAMPSON
