This was a slice of life drama about the occupants of a place called Victoria park.
Mona and Wolfie are just about to celebrate their sixty fifth wedding anniversary but Mona’s health is in decline and she is suffering with Alzheimer’s
Meanwhile the reader gets a glimpse into lives and situations of the other occupants over a year.
We see their strugglers, trials, hopes, dreams and relationships lazy.
Not all are happy or successful but that’s the realism of the story, you get the warts and all of peoples characters.
The novel was such a charming tale and for me it ended way too soon.
I just wanted to know more of each person’s back stories as they were so interesting.
That was the one fault I found it didn’t delve far enough in and when you care about the characters you want to know what happens in their lives.
But this was such a good read, I didn’t want it to finish.
If this is a debut I’m really looking forward to reading more in the future.
