Favorite book by an outstanding author
Published by Pat , 9 months ago
This book has the such appealing characters and Penelope Lively reveals them little by little with all their strengths and flaws. The book begins with an elderly teacher being mugged. Her injuries and recovery cause upheavals for better and for worse in the lives of eight other people. This novel is humorous, clever, a bit sad and totally heartwarming. I loved it so much that I bought copies for all the members of my book club so we could enjoy it together.
