This is the story of Ada, an elderly lady, who is struggling with loneliness since loosing her husband and Eliza, a university student, who is also struggling with the isolation of moving to a new city and living on her own.

The pair strike an unlikely friendship through chance circumstances and a shared love of tea.

I really enjoyed this book. It’s no secret I enjoy a book with an elder person as a character and this book definitely delivered that, I adored Ada and could read a whole book on her rent-a-gran enterprise!!

I felt like it took a few chapters to find its flow but once it did I couldn’t put it down!! The characters also don’t meet until over half way into the book which means we get to know each of them individually and really felt the connection between them.

This is a stunning debut and I can’t wait for more from this author!!

Thank you to @orionbooks for my #gifted copy
