This is the story of an elderly couple who's son wants them to move into a home. It tells the tale of their life now with snippets of their past woven in to reveal dark secrets. This was an understated yet compelling read.

Jack takes a daily walk to a cafe where, one day, he meets Marinela. As the story develops you can see parallels between Bet and Marinela and you begin to have more of an understanding for each character because of it.

This is definitely not what I was expecting, I think I went in thinking this would be a funny, heart warming read - it wasn't - it was so much more. This was a real and gritty look at what life is like for the elderly living amongst us and of how strong love for another can be.
