Her captivating
bestseller of loss and the healing power of love now re-issued with a
stunning new jacket look. Elfrida Phipps loves her new life in the
pretty Hampshire village. She has a tiny cottage, her faithful dog
Horace and the friendship of the neighbouring Blundells - particularly
Oscar - to ensure that her days include companionship as well as
independence. But an unforeseen tragedy upsets Elfrida's tranquillity:
Oscar's wife and daughter are killed in a terrible car crash and he
finds himself homeless when his stepchildren claim their dead mother's
inheritance.
Oscar and Elfrida take refuge in a rambling house in
Scotland which becomes a magnet for various waifs and strays who
converge upon it, including an unhappy teenage girl. It could be a
recipe for disaster. But somehow the Christmas season weaves its magical
spell and for Elfrida and Oscar, in the evening of their lives, the
winter solstice brings love and solace.
