Atticus Arnott's Great Adventure: The best chapters of life are still waiting to be written… by Caroline James
Escape to sunny Spain with the #1 bestselling author of The Cruise in this heartwarming romcom full of romance, self-discovery and the magic of saying yes to adventure.“A gorgeous story, for all ages, full of heart and hope - sure to inspire a wave of readers to head to Spain in a delightful twist on the Shirley Valentine effect.”

When seventy-year-old Atticus Arnott trades the rainy hills of Cumbria for the golden coast of Spain in his beloved vintage campervan, his quiet village is left reeling from the shock. With only his faithful collie, Ness, for company, Atticus sets off in search of sunshine, serenity, and perhaps a glass or two of sangria. But his solo adventure quickly turns into something far more unexpected...

Back in Ireland, Atticus’s daughter Mary is facing a crisis of her own. As her picture-perfect life starts to crumble, she must find the courage to put herself first for once and rediscover the dreams she set aside long ago.


As father and daughter navigate new paths, they learn that starting over isn’t about running from the past—but embracing the unknown with open arms…

Full of laughter, love and second chances, Atticus Arnott’s Great Adventure is a feel-good escape that proves it’s never too late for a new beginning—no matter where life might take you.

"The best Caroline James book yet! I fell in love with Atticus and was cheering him on throughout his adventures. The book had me laughing and also brought tears to my eyes. An absolute joy to read. You will love it."

"This was absolutely brilliant and I would give it ten stars if I could."

"A heartwarming and uplifting read! I loved following Atticus on his adventure through sunny Spain, and the story beautifully balances humor, romance, and self-discovery. I highly recommend this feel-good romcom to anyone looking for a story about new beginnings and embracing life’s unexpected moments."

"As with all Caroline James’s novels the characters shine from the page in glorious technicolour and even the ones with little more than walk on parts will stay with me for a long time. If you, like Atticus, hanker after some winter sun, this is the perfect book to take you there." Eva Glyn, Author
