William Harriman, retired, lives a comfortable if lonely existence in his Dulwich house. He runs an antique stall with Buffy, his late wife's best friend, and struggles to understand his prickly daughter and help his schizophrenic son. Then Janice Harper arrives as his lodger sent to get a life from Shropshire by his eccentric cousins who run a down-at-heel dog sanctuary and museum. She is the catalyst for change. An engrossing and thought provoking book.
