A very touching book that lived with me for several days after completion, I enjoyed this book more than I originally imagined I would.Unlike several readers, I did not find it overly sentimental, obvious or that cliched. I found the worries and concerns of Kathleen (a librarian being treated for breast cancer), her relationship with her husband and sons (only partially touched on in the book) very subtle and endearing.It was interesting the way that Anita spoke about Kathleen's character through her new friend, Joyce, almost like a mirrored impression, and vice versa. The development of their friendship was a bit clunky but aren't many friendships in life? They do not always build up gradually but often grow in leaps and bounds. I thought the suddenness and their surprise about the importance of each other's company and friendship in both their lives was very convincing and touching.While I found the affair thread of the tale to be a little tenuous, especially the way that Kathleen had to "rescue" her friend, I was so taken and moved by the overall language and mood of the book that I forgave any plot weaknesses in an instant. Anita's lightness of touch is very endearing when reading about female friendship and I love the way she uses imagery and ideas rather than deliberate character dialogue to reveal different aspects - such as the statue in the garden and the eccentric neigbour using it as a shrine.A light read that touches on some monumental topics (cancer, relationship breakdowns, role reversal, religion etc etc) without resorting to tokenism or triviality. Very clever and very subtle.

Fabulous depiction of friendship and the pace at which the story is revealed is spot on without the clunky vision of the writers spreadsheet which annoys me so much. One or two elements didn’t ring true, hence 4 stars but otherwise a joy to read.

Probably the best book I have ever read! I read it years ago then lost it! I waited for it to become affordable on my kindle!! It is a joy! Covers all of life and death and every emotion I between! I never wanted it to end and feel disappointed now it has!

While this story is no "red tent" from the perspective of being unique and creative, it is a simple story, well written, that bases itself on the importance of friendship between women. It is relatable, straightforward and a good read that reminds you of the importance of noticing the small, every day blessings in life, and appreciate that no one is perfect or lives the perfect life and that having and being a good friend is one of life's greatest blessings.
