Addie and Louis are neighbours, both widowed, with children gone. Why should they both be lonely? Addie's unlikely solution to this question is the theme of this heart-warming little book. Up against the disapproval of neighbours and a bullying son will they have the courage to stick to their survival tactic? I'm not telling, but it is a good story and because I enjoyed the pared-down, evocative prose I forgave it for being, maybe, slightly simplistic.
