Sister Agatha at the Pearly Gates: A wickedly delightful story that proves it's never too late for an adventure

She needs nothing short of a miracle...

Sister Agatha lies on her deathbed. But as she takes her final breath, the 124-year-old nun experiences a vision. At the Pearly Gates, St Peter will only allow her entry into heaven if she can atone for her past wrongdoings. And so, the Irish nun is given a divine new mission: to return to earth and honour four unsung heroes.

Accompanied by a stray Labrador, Sister Agatha embarks on a globe-spanning pilgrimage from Salem to Iceland, Turkey to Crete, meeting actors, activists and accidental sinners along the way. Each encounter brings laughter, chaos and several miracles - as well as the occasional crime or two.

Back at the convent, the Mother Superior confronts the press, social media scandals and her own disbelief: is the world's most famous nun truly who she claims to be?

Full of wit and wicked delight, Sister Agatha at the Pearly Gates is a joyful, life-affirming journey about faith, friendship and finding purpose when heaven itself has other plans. Perfect for fans of Jonas Jonasson and Richard Osman, this hilarious follow-on proves that it's never too late for one last adventure - even in the afterlife!
