But the whole story is quite wonderfully told – I picked it up after lunch, and found it impossible to set aside until I’d read the final page, entirely transported to the locations and enjoying every moment of my involvement with the lives of its characters. As Veronica says , "I have found that one's happiness very much depends on where one chooses to put one's focus. I found the story to be emotional, as we found out more about how Veronica had to give up her baby, and what had happened to him to explain why he missed out on his son Patrick growing up. Terry shares the highs and the lows of life at Locket Island, Veronica details her filming adventure and the hassle of dealing with the press and Patrick shares the story of his journey to find out more about his dad.

Unknown to her, Daisy has written to a TV show that grants wishes to children suffering from serious illnesses. While undergoing treatment for cancer, Daisy followed Veronica on the Locket Island blog and fell in love with baby penguin Pip. I am absolutely gutted to report that I was left feeling a little disappointed with this as a sequel.
But when she is invited by wild life presenter Sir Robert Saddlebow to co-host a documentary program on seabirds, she jumps at the chance of a new adventure. However, due to poor communication he has suddenly left, leaving Terry to wonder about what went wrong. Auch diese Fortsetzung wird im Präsens erzählt, was aber hier tatsächlich sehr gut passt und man das Gefühl hat, selbst mitten dabei zu sein.
Even though this new adventure it will put her in the spotlight, just when she thought she would soon fade into the wings.Patrick , Veronica's grandson, having broken up with Terry and having quit his work with Terry and her team in Antarctica is on a quest to find out as much as possible about his late father - a quest Veronica supports, wanting to know more about her long lost son who was who had been forcibly taken away from her as an infant and given up for adoption. I loved the relationship between Daisy and Veronica, the youngest and oldest characters, and the joy they brought to each other. year old Veronica McCreedy has recently discovered a late-life love for family and friendship, adventure and wildlife.
Patrick had felt this constant hole in his life, and feels a desperate need to find out more about his father, who had died in a climbing accident. Veronica is delighted to receive a request to appear in a wildlife documentary about Penguins and now at the age of 87 years she is ready for a new adventure. Daisy was recovering from chemotherapy and her recuperation for a while with Veronica in The Ballahays, in Scotland with Eileen who was a friend of Veronica, was agreed upon by Daisy’s parents Beth and Gavin. Her trip back to the Southern Hemisphere sounded magical and it was lovely reconnecting with Terry and the team. It's by no means an easy time for any of them but this is ultimately feel-good fiction and it was an absolute delight to read.There are a couple of sad sections to the story (you may need a tissue), but overall this is an uplifting read and perfect to enjoy on a dark winter evening with a cosy blanket and a hot chocolate (although Veronica would insist on a cup of Darjeeling tea!
What we know about Veronica; At the age of 87, Veronica was a stubborn, cantankerous, feisty woman who lived alone in an imposing mansion except for a daily hired woman, Eileen.If you adore penguins as much as I do, you will appreciate the central focus on the wide variety of penguins covered in this novel and the humans who love them too. And, if you read the earlier book, I expect you’d like to know whether we get the chance to see how life’s been treating Pip – and I’m happy to say that the answer is “yes”.
Great Deal
