A strange little book, which has since been made into a Netflix film. A very easy read with short chapters and simple language. However, there is no punctuation to indicate dialogue which takes a bit of getting used to. Basically it's a touching love story about two elderly and lonely neighbours (both widowed) in small town America, and raises many questions about friendship and family loyalties. Perfect as a holiday read - (but avoid saying the title out loud quickly to anyone of a sensitive disposition!).
