When the surprise holiday Dee thinks her husband has booked for her sixtieth birthday weekend turns out to be yet another solo golfing break - it's the last straw.
Meanwhile her best friend Babs's other half has decided to move to Spain and is acting like he doesn't need to consult anyone. Not even Babs!
Well, if their husbands think they can do what they want, so can their wives. So, with that thought, the two best friends leap into Dee's trusty car and head for the seaside, and an adventure they'll never forget.
Back home their furious husbands want them to return immediately. But - as they begin to enjoy their newfound freedom - will either of the runaway wives ever want to come back home again?
An absolutely hilarious, uplifting, escapist story, perfect for fans of Maddie Please, Judy Leigh and Dawn French.
