Blog Tour - The Gift of Friends by Emma Hannigan

Kingfisher Road - a leafy, peaceful street in the town of Vayhill. But there are whispers behind closed doors. Who is moving into Number 10?


Engaged to handsome, wealthy Justin Johnston, Danielle appears to her new neighbours to have the perfect, glossy life. But not everything is as it seems...


In fact, each of the other four women who live close by has a secret, and each is nursing their own private heartache.

But could a gift be waiting on their doorsteps? And, by opening their front doors, and their hearts, to each other, could the women of Kingfisher Road discover all the help they need?


This thirteenth and final novel from the beloved and inspiring Emma Hannigan is a life-affirming, uplifting story that celebrates the strength and joys of female friendship.


Emma Hannigan was the No. 1 bestselling author of eleven novels including Letters to Daughters, The Wedding Promise, The Perfect Gift, and The Summer Guest, as well as a memoir, All to Live For, which was about surviving an eleven year battle with cancer - facing cancer 10 separate times over the course of those years - and remaining strong, positive and warm. Very sadly, we have now lost Emma in the fight against cancer - she passed away at the end of February 2018.


The Gift of Friends went straight to number one on the bestseller lists in Ireland and has remained there ever since.
The Gift of Friends is Emma Hannigan's last novel before her death and it is a brilliant read which should be a celebration of her amazing writing and a lasting memory of a brilliant author.

I really enjoyed The Gift of Friends. it is a celebration of friendship but also a bird's eye view of a the life on Kingfisher Road, an exclusive road with houses behind locked gates and as a new neighbour moves in, it is up to the other residents to find out more about their new occupants, and in turn, more about themselves and their friendships. Each woman have their own secrets and tales to tell and I enjoyed learning more about each woman, they were fantastic stories. 

The Gift of Friends is a great read and I would love to recommend it to all my blog readers. It is one of those books that can allow the reader to get lost in another world, where the characters are all fantastic and real, I was able to identify recognisable traits in some of my own friends. I would love to visit Kingfisher Road, although I am unsure that I would want to live there, it could feel like living in a goldfish bowl with everyone knowing each others business.
