Beschrijving boek
In London, William Harriman, a retired civil servant, contemplates widowhood, estrangement from his children and the collection of antique China. In Shropshire, his lunatic trio of cousins eke out a precarious existence with numberless rescued dogs. The young Janice Harper - dog-walker, shopper-for-the-old and vegan cake-maker - is sent by them to lodge with cousin William and get a life at last. Meanwhile, floods, pestilence and disease are unleashed upon a reeling countryside. Poised between comedy and despair, Sue Gee’s novel gently uncovers unexpected reaches of loneliness, love and desire.
