What to expect

'Vibrant, warm and often hilarious. An absolute delight' JANE FALLON
'Read Nothing Left Unsaid in two greedy stints. It's a novel written with wit, righteous rage and compassion' NIGELLA LAWSON
'A warm, touching and humorous hymn of praise to those she describes as "wee warrior women"' SUNDAY TIMES SCOTLAND

GLASGOW, 2019. Sharon has rushed home at the news her mother has been admitted to hospital. It's clear Senga's life is coming to an end. As Sharon gathers family and friends together to say goodbye, Senga, as always, does things in her own mysterious way. She instructs Sharon to find the red diary she kept in the 1970s and to read it. There's something Senga needs to talk about while she still has time. The journey into her mother's past is both shocking and surprising, forcing Sharon to re-evaluate her own childhood, her marriage and what she wants her own future to hold.

GLASGOW, 1976. Life in the tenements of Shettleston is a daily struggle. You need your wits about you to survive, and your friends. Senga has both in spades: she is part of the Shettleston 'menage' alongside her friends Bunty, Sandra, Philomena and Isa, and whatever life hands to them - cheating husbands, poverty, illness, threats and abuse - they throw something back just as hard. These women are strong because they need to be. And they never, ever walk away in times of crisis - as Sharon is about to find out.

Praise for Janey Godley:
'Sharpest-elbowed comedy in the world' The New York Times
'A great comic' Billy Connolly

I bought this audiobook as soon as I heard of Janey’s death and watched the documentary about her incredible life. It was amazing to hear her voice telling the story of Senga, a strong, poor and loving Glasgow woman who had a community of similar women around her, all her life. The book tells of the adversity, hardships and abuse all of them had to face but that they constantly looked out for one another. It echoes some of Janey’s life and that of her mother’s but with a brilliant mystery story in amongst the tales of daily life in 1970s Scotland.
How the world will miss this powerful, honest and funny woman’s voice.
Travel well Janey

Love love loved this book. It was sad and your heart went out to the characters but it was also laugh out loud funny. I thoroughly enjoyed every second and didn't want the book to end. I think it is truly amazing that that whilst in the middle of writing this book she received her cancer diagnosis and continued on to finish her book. Having had breast cancer twice myself I take my hat off to her, in the midst of all that turmoil in her own life she's given us this absolute cracker of a book. I have loved listening and look forward to buying the paper copy too. I would highly recommend this book to everyone 💞💖
