Dr.Louise Case leads a perfectly correct life by her standarts. She has a new cottage,a long-term commitment-free relationship with a colleague,and a feminist friend.One day a van with a strange woman enters her orchard. Rose Miles is an eighty years old lady,an intruder and an unexpected witness of Louise`s life. Although she may seem nasty and arrogant at first sight,she plays the good fairy for Louise,gently pushing and mixing in her own way events and comic misunderstandings,to help Louise change her life and come out from the circle of the past nine years.
Reading this book was a delight. Quite different from other Gregory`s books,"an English farce",as critics put it,it was funny and can`t-put-it-down. I enjoyed the tense and uneasy love triangle between Toby,Miriam and Louise,especially the way it dissolved at the final.:-))I could imagine many of the scenes like in a movie; it could be perfect for a movie,actually. Just figure out Toby,stepped on a chair,dressed in an absurd stolen gown,ready to do anything Rose wants ,only to extract one more piece of information from her! That was a laugh,really! LOL!
As always,Gregory`s wonderful gift for brilliant psychological insight,along with sense of humor and understanding of human relationships,make this novel a delightful read.
