Description

Elizabeth Webster is a spinster pushing seventy. Forced out of her teaching job, she unleashes her sharp tongue and dogmatic opinions on everyone in the English village of Little Blessington. Then, one night, she grinds to a dead halt. To recover from this illness, she travels to North Africa where she has a brush with terrorism - not that she cares about politics. Three weeks after Miss Webster has returned home her doorbell rings. There stands a beautiful young Arab man carrying a large suitcase. Who is he, why is he there and what does he want?

Media Reviews

'This is a sparkling, redemptive novel which I read in one go and then again with relish' Independent 'Bittersweet, compelling and moving' Sheila Hancock 'An enchanting novel, filled with all Dunker's trademark wit and intelligence' Daily Mail 'A story of real charm and compassion. It is, in short, the kind of novel you want to give all your friends - the elderly, to show them all is not lost, and the young, who have everything to gain' Telegraph
