This book is beautifully written, a story about much more than simply turning 50!
The story unfolds from several people’s point of view as the main characters journey between the beautiful Greek Islands, the suburbs London and remotest Scotland. It is incredibly funny in parts, subtle and I felt bordering on a Mike Leigh comedy script at times. It is also heart-wrenching as misunderstandings occur between people. Descriptive, rounded and real, warts and all I found myself really caring what happened to the various characters during the interactions between them. I think Lynne McVernon is an exquisite observer of human nature and I didn’t want it to end – I wanted more.
