Synopsis: A lyrical and emotionally engaging novel infused with mystery and wisdom about love, friendship, and the power of forgiveness. Florrie Butterfield—eighty-seven, one-legged, and of cheerful disposition—believes there can't be any more adventures or surprises in life to experience. Yet one midsummer&’s evening, there&’s an accident at Babbington Hall—the adult residence where she lives—so shocking and strange that Florrie is suspicious; is this really an accident? Or is she being lied to? Is she, in fact, living alongside a potential murderer? In her efforts to learn the truth, Florrie is forced to look back on her own life, with all its passions and regrets; she must confront her own bloody secret—and, at last, forgive herself. Above all, Florrie learns, through the help of her new friend, Stanhope, that you&’re never too old to have the life you&’ve always dreamed of. When it comes to love, it&’s never too late.Readers of moving fiction about late-in-life second chances such as Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove and Rachel Joyce&’s The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry will love this un-putdownable book.
