About this audiobook
A passionate novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Magnificent Mrs Mayhew - a gorgeous read full of hope, warmth and heartfelt emotion.
Laurie and Pete should never have met.
But fate has pushed them together for a reason.
Six months ago, on the same night, Laurie and Pete both lost their partners.
Struggling to manage the grief, they join the same counselling group – and meet each other.
From their sadness, Pete and Laurie find happiness growing and they sense a fresh new beginning.
Except, the more they talk, the more they begin to spot the strange parallels in their stories.
Then Pete discovers a truth that changes everything.
But, as surely as a compass points north, some people cannot be kept apart.
My One True North is a story of friendship and what love means, of secrets uncovered, teashops on corners and the northern lights.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another ripper!! Molly Johnston books always leave me wanting more. I’m new to her books and now I’m binge-listening to them because I can guarantee they’ll be great every time. This one was a beautiful story, much more complex than just a love story. Thank you!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Really enjoyed this book. Love the Yorkshire feel and down to earth characters. Expressions made me laugh out loud. Very comforting read. Made me homesick for England.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Found it quite slow at beginning but was a great story
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5AMAZING . Must read. Best. It made me cry.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is my favorite of all the Milly Johnson books, and was my last - I've now listened to all available. I wish there were more!
