Dido and Georgia, friends since university, return from a Book Fair - one to York the other to London - each laden with a pile of books. Sounds cosy? It isn't. Georgia is newly widowed, her only daughter searching for love, a distant cousin with dementia while Dido's life is falling apart with dizzy-turns, a husband she can no longer trust. Sounds grim? It isn't but it is all absorbing with living, breathing characters all conveyed in Gee's expressive prose.
