A lovely, gentle read.
Jo is 38 and single. She steps in to look after her Uncle Wilbur’s stationery shop when he is taken ill.
Among the customers she meets are Ruth, who she later finds out has been referred to in the newspaper as “The Runaway Vicar”, and Malcolm, who is writing and researching a book about the history and people of Highgate Cemetery.
There is a lot of detail in this book, it is evident that the author has done a lot of research which has paid off.
I loved the relationship development between Jo, Ruth and Malcolm, and also Eric the Viking, who Jo mistakes for someone else initially.
I really enjoyed this book, I looked forward to returning to it, I found it to be very comforting at a time when I needed all the help I could get!
Thanks to Readers First and the publisher for allowing me to read an advance copy in return for my honest review.
