'A kind-hearted, life-affirming read' THE AGE
Retired academic Martin Pottinger's hopes for romance with the attractive head of his former university's archaeology department seem about to be realised. If only sharing a house with his eccentric elderly mother and her cat wasn't cramping his style.
Recently bereaved Grace Cavendish spends her days helping out at All Souls Church, making it her mission to drown out the Reverend Rod's tone-deaf hymn-singing. Yet the peace she craves remains elusive.
When Martin and Grace meet at a service, they unwittingly set off a chain of events with far-reaching consequences. They become funeral crashers. But who could have predicted that crashing funerals might have such life-changing outcomes?
'I giggled, I was moved, and I now want to join Martin and Grace's choir. This is a story about life in all its mess and glory' CASSIE HAMER
'Delightful and wise, heartfelt, heartbreaking and hilarious . . . A superb reminder that it is never too late in life to rediscover love, joy, redemption and friendship' SARAH CLUTTON
