My One True North

By: Milly Johnson

Narrated by: Colleen Prendergast

A passionate novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Mrs Mayhew - a gorgeous read full of hope, warmth and heartfelt emotion. ​

Laurie and Pete should never have met.
But fate has pushed them together for a reason.

Six months ago, on the same night, Laurie and Pete both lost their partners.
Struggling to manage the grief, they join the same counselling group – and meet each other.

From their sadness, Pete and Laurie find happiness growing and they sense a fresh new beginning.
Except, the more they talk, the more they begin to spot the strange parallels in their stories.
Then Pete discovers a truth that changes everything.

But, as surely as a compass points north, some people cannot be kept apart.

My One True North is a story of friendship and what love means, of secrets uncovered, teashops on corners and the northern lights.©2020 Milly Johnson (P)2020 Simon & Schuster, UK

Critic reviews

‘The feeling you get when you read a Milly Johnson book should be bottled and made available on the NHS’ (Debbie Johnson)

Really great story

I will be reading more of this author! A really intriguing read. Sad and tragic at parts but a nice story of two people that were hurt by prior partners

A great follow-up!

This is an excellent addition the The Teashop in the Corner! We see familiar faces mingled with new stories - and the new stories are just as interesting! Heartfelt tale with really human humans. I hated to have to end it!

Best book ever

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. The story was enthralling. I could not stop listening. The reader was excellent.

Slow start but great

Loved it

I’ve recently started listening to books by this author and reader (great combo) and this story was as good as the others. The reader does a great job, the author builds lovely characters and this book made me laugh several times. The subject matter of this book could have been depressing but it was not. The story was predictable but that didn’t bother me.

Super cute - great listen.

Light hearted and engaging. Really enjoyed it. Narrator was lovely. No more words to add.
