The Last List of Mabel Beaumont
The Last List of Mabel Beaumont: The unforgettable book everyone is talking about in 2023 | Laura Pearson
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
The list he left had just one item on it. Or, at least, it did at first... Mabel Beaumonts husband Arthur loved lists. Hed leave them for her everywhere. Remember: eggs, butter, sugar. I love you: today, tomorrow, always. But now Arthur is gone. He died: softly, gently, not making a fuss. But hes still left her a list. This one has just one item on it though: Find D. Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot, who she hasnt seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago. It seems impossible. She doesnt even know if Dots still alive. Also, every person Mabel talks to seems to need help first, with missing husbands, daughters, parents. Mabel finds her list is just getting longer, and shes still no closer to finding Dot. What she doesnt know is that her list isnt just about finding her old friend. And that if she can admit the secrets of the past, maybe she could even find happiness again... A completely heartbreaking, beautiful, uplifting story, guaranteed to make you smile but also make you cry. Perfect for fans of My Name is Ove, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and The Keeper of Stories. Readers are absolutely loving The Last List of Mabel Beaumont: Ive just finished The Last List of Mabel Beaumont. Be still my beating heart. Ive smiled and Ive cried and everything in between... Id give it 10 stars if I could. Nickis Book Blog Gorgeous... Tender and beautiful... As hopeful as it is heart-breaking... I loved it. Amy Beashel, author This beautifully written story of friendship, love, loss and second chances captured my heart. Its a tender and uplifting read and I adored Mabel and her unlikely gang of colourful characters... Leaves you feeling warm, hopeful, and satisfied. Lisa Timoney, author I loved it! Mabel Beaumont is an absolute treasure... Laura Pearson cleverly, gently, peels back the layers of Mabels and her friends lives in a way that hurts, then soothes, your heart... An uplifting, life-affirming joy of a novel! Emma Robinson, author Since writing The Secret Life of Albert Entwisle, Ive been inundated with books in the uplit genre but this is by far the best Ive read... Its moving, life-affirming and utterly wonderful. Matt Cain, author I absolutely loved this book... I adore an older protagonist... who is feisty and not afraid to speak her mind. The story is like a warm hug but it had spark and wit and humour too. I loved it, and was bereft when I finished it (far too) late last night!... Gorgeous! Clare Swatman, author Wow. Seriously. Just beautiful. So many wonderful elements... Such a unique angle... So many memorable characters... Beautiful and utterly affecting. Louise Beech, author Such a treat!... Just beautiful... Charming, warm and moving... A beautifully written story about love and longing, and a poignant reminder that its never too late to follow your heart. Holly Miller, author I adored it... A heartbreakingly beautiful story about love in all its different forms. (And she made me cry again, of course). Bravo. Nikki Smith, author Well, I finished this in the same 24 hours as I started it. Oh... what a beautiful story... Poignant and inspiring! Jennie Godfrey, author Such a poignant story. Brought a lump to my throat... Will really appeal to fans of Joanna Cannon. Karen Angelico, author What a beautiful book about truth, love, relationships and how it's never too late to follow your heart... Moving, funny and emotionally clever. Alison Stockham, author Wonderful... Uplifting... A brilliant book... Clever and unforgettable. Dive in, and prepare to be inspired. Ross Greenwood, author

Hoopla app audiobook to try out, not sure whether I'd like it. Sweet, cozy little intergenerational found family story with a lot of good reflection on life consideration of values and relationships from our 86-year-old protagonist going on a search to find her old friend she hadn't been in touch with for 50-60 years. I liked the British narrator.

Absolutely gorgeous. I am an emotional wreck ? in my top three this year.

Mabel loses her husband after 62 years of marriage and has no family or friends to help her with the grieving process. "The Library" meets "Eleanor Oliphant" with a dash of "Evelyn Hugo". Just wonderful.

Proof that you're never too old to make new friends and find yourself. A lovely story about accepting who you truly are and the beauty of friendship.
