About this listen

Georgie Sinclair’s husband has walked out and work is getting her down. So when she spots Mrs Shapiro, an eccentric old neighbour, rummaging through her skip in the middle of the night, it’s just the distraction she needs. And although they mistrust each other at first, a firm friendship is formed.

Then Mrs Shapiro is admitted to hospital and, to Georgie’s surprise, she is named as her next of kin. As Georgie steps in to help her new friend, she finds herself unravelling a mystery that takes her from Highbury to wartime Europe to the Middle East, and learning a bit about DIY along the way.

This is a marvellous book which made me laugh out loud. The narrator does a brilliant job and brings the characters to life. Recommended for an excellent light hearted read.

An excellent story from start to finish. Both funny and moving in equal parts. I listened to this on my walks to work and often laughed out loud or gasped audibly. A wonderful performance from the reader. I loved the voices she did for the characters, particularly Mrs Shapiro's!
I'd really recommend this for an uplifting and entertaining read.

Hilarious and moving!

I thoroughly enjoyed this. The narrator was perfect and really managed the character voices and the nuances of their comments and conversation well: sarcasm, hurt, intrigue all came across. It is a story about love and relationships but is not a romance. I found it thought-provoking in parts and funny too. I also learned a lot but it isn't written to teach anything. I highly recommend it and will listen to and read again.

Unexpected and heartwarming
