So much was hidden in this story, yet revealed in the most brilliant way. I had an inkling that Leo may have still been alive, however throughout the book, you are under the impression that Missy is grieving for him. And I suppose she is in a way.
79yr old Missy Carmichael lives alone in a big old house, left with just her memories to keep her company. One day she decides to have a break from the norm and watch a fish stunning at the local park. It is here that she meets Alison and Otis and the lovely Sylvie. Missy's chance meeting with the two woman then leads her down a completely different path, casting light onto the shadows and bringing joy back into her life. The one big change in Missy's life is that she falls in love again, with a dog called Bob, or renamed Bobby. Bobby becomes the reason that Missy gets up in the morning, the company she craves late at night and the crumb hoover upper! Fantastic story, highly recommend!
