The Love Story of Missy Carmichael by Beth Morrey
The Love Story of Missy Carmichael by Beth Morrey Book Summary
For readers of Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine and A Man Called Ove, a life-affirming, deeply moving "coming-of-old" story, a celebration of how ordinary days are made extraordinary through friendship, family, and the power of forgiving yourself--at any age.
"At a time when people are having to isolate, [this novel is] a balm, offering an expansive sense of love and possibility at a time when the main characters feel like those chances are gone." --Christian Science Monitor
The world has changed around seventy-nine-year-old librarian Millicent Carmichael, aka Missy. Though quick to admit that she often found her roles as a housewife and mother less than satisfying, Missy once led a bustling life driven by two children, an accomplished and celebrated husband, and a Classics degree from Cambridge. Now her husband is gone, her daughter is estranged after a shattering argument, and her son has moved to his wife's native Australia, taking Missy's beloved only grandchild half-a-world away. She spends her days sipping sherry, avoiding people, and rattling around in her oversized, under-decorated house waiting for...what exactly?
The last thing Missy expects is for two perfect strangers and one spirited dog named Bob to break through her prickly exterior and show Missy just how much love she still has to give. In short order, Missy finds herself in the jarring embrace of an eclectic community that simply won't take no for an answer--including a rambunctious mutt-on-loan whose unconditional love gives Missy a reason to re-enter the world one muddy paw print at a time.
Filled with wry laughter and deep insights, The Love Story of Missy Carmichael is a coming-of-old story that shows us it's never too late to forgive yourself and, just as important, it's never too late to love.

Wonderful. So tender, sad, funny, not enough words
Perfect Book. Every so often a book comes along that moves me. It’s very rare. But this is such a book. Loved every word of it. Can’t wait for more from this writer. Heartwarming, human, emotional. Loved it!
Just fun. Great fun easy read.
You’ll love it!. There is so much to love about this book. Being a woman of a certain age I identified with Missy, younger ones will identify with other characters. For instance, someone having issues in their marriage may identify with Felicity, single mothers or single parents will identify with Angela and Many will identify with Sylvie. All dog lovers will love this book. There are lessons to be learned also, older people are not throw aways. They still have a lot to give. To have a friend you have to be a friend. We all love a good ending. You won’t see what’s coming at the end. Enjoy!
