Review supplied by Mel Lovegrove.

Superb book about this elderly lady who has three grown up children who she does not really get on with. She knows she is at the end of her life and is choosing to please herself at last instead of pleasing her family. It is a lovely book full of little touches and brilliant description of characters. It left me thinking about life and families that we do not choose and about friends that you do choose! Sometimes friendships can be formed in most unexpected ways.
