Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
When Kate Armitage is laid off, she decides to take retirement and move to the small town of Mellor, outside London. Kate has always wanted a little house in the country, and since she is only 50, it's the perfect opportunity to begin her new career as a writer. Her first topic is going to be her father, whom she barely knew. In the process, she uncovers information about her family's past that helps her begin to understand her distrust of men. Living in a small town proves to be much different than the city. When she is not writing, Kate is drawn into the day-to-day lives of her neighbors. For someone who was used to being anonymous, this is unsought yet not unwelcome. At the ripe "old" age of 50, Kate is allowed to examine and change the course of her life, a prospect many of us hope to face. Paige makes the mundane seem vitally important, an alluring and affirming perspective. Maria Hatton
