I can only begin by saying that this book is amazing! I am usually a fan of psychological thrillers and similar and was unsure when I started this book if it would be my sort of thing. Whilst I do like to read other genres, I pick and choose a bit. However, I am so pleased I have been given the chance to review this book.
It is centered around the character of Missy, an older lonely lady who gradually discovers friendships in all sorts of different and unexpected ways.
It jumps back and forth to when Missy was young and goes through her marriage to her beloved Leo at different stages of their lives and relationship. It also examines the complicated relationships with her daughter and son and you make a lot of assumptions about all of them, which turn out to be completely wrong.I loved this book and was very sorry when I had finished. I can just say, make sure you have tissues and it is heart-warming, tragic and uplifting, a real mixture and a great read.
