Because life is for living... When Mavis's husband dies, her safe and comfortable life is thrown into disarray and she feels anything but marvellous. But instead of wallowing in despair, Mavis packs up her things and embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, travelling to glamorous New York and throwing caution to the wind. Along the way she will make new friends, discover new horizons, and realise just how truly marvellous life really is... Marvellous Mavis is Lotte Moore's inspiring, funny, moving and heartfelt tale of embracing life whatever it throws at you.
