Meet Izzy a first time mum who up until motherhood has been able to handle everything that life has thrown at her – however bringing up a newborn baby is proving more difficult than she thought and she is struggling with the routine and loneliness.
Living across the road from
Izzy in their cul-du-sac, is neighbour and widower Arthur who lost his wife
Pearl two years ago and is struggling with the similar feelings of despair that
Izzy is feeling. After a fall, his nephew Jeremy is keen to move him into a care
home, but Arthur is determined to do things his way.
An unusual friendship
between Izzy and Arthur blossoms when she offers to help him pack up his
belongings but in fact, they both end up helping each other.
This is a heart-warming
story of two people from different generations, who live in close proximity to
each other developing a friendship which rescues both of them from the blanket
of loneliness. All of the characters in this book are lovely, from Joan to
Jeremy although initially I didn’t think I was going to like him, but he only
has his Uncle’s best interests at heart. I think everyone who reads this book
will want Arthur as their grandad!

generational friendship.
