Mimi is elderly and frail, widowed and living with her divorced daughter. Life is stale and uneventful. Until Bonifacio comes to her and tells her he is her guardian angel. Everyone thinks she is going loopy, as he can't be seen by anyone else, but he makes her life fun. Is he real or not? We're never quite sure. The author dedicates the book to her mother, who "would have loved Bonifacio". Wouldn't we all!
