Windmill Hill |
A crumbling windmill, two eccentric older women in retreat from their past lives, three indulged dachshunds plus a sprinkling of characters form the the backdrop for this very entertaining story. The narrative is mostly taken from thoughts Astrid has while travelling on a train, with a backstory running alongside - the windmill was inhabited in the 1920's by bohemians (creating local scandals) - and letters found amongst their possessions in the windmill are quoted throughout the book. Haunting, tragic but often funny!
