A New Life in Amsterdam is the latest novel from author Helga Jensen.

Could down-sizing her life mean up-sizing her dreams?

Since her daughter grew up and left home, Sandy has found herself filling her house with things – impulse purchases that she just has to have but that quickly lose their sheen. Why would she need an expensive set of copper pans when she has no one to cook for?

Realising that her shopping habit is out of control, she asks herself: can she de-clutter, downsize and start a new life?

She has always wanted to live on a barge, and she reasons that there is no way she would have room for random purchases on a boat. Taking the bravest decision of her life, Sandy buys and refurbishes a barge in the beautiful city of Amsterdam.

Relishing her independence, she is not looking for love, but as the nights draw in and the leaves start to fall from the trees, she finds herself drawn to cafe owner and expert hot chocolate maker Abe.

Is she willing to take a second chance on finding the one?

A New Life In Amsterdam is a funny and lovely romance that will leave you smiling.

One of the things I always enjoy when reading Helga’s books is how relatable the characters are. Sandy, an older lady stuck in a rut, makes an impulsive decision to buy a houseboat, which changes her life. She renovates the boat and makes new friends, who open her eyes to new food and experiences, giving her a new perspective on life.

It’s a lovely, gentle read that does not disappoint.
