Mabel Beaumont’s husband Arthur loved lists. He’d leave them for her everywhere: ‘Remember: eggs, butter, sugar.
'I love you: today, tomorrow, always’.
But now Arthur is gone. He died, softly, gently, not making a fuss. And he left Mabel a list with just one item on it: ‘Find D’.
Mabel feels sure she knows what it means. She must track down her best friend Dot who she hasn’t seen since the fateful day she left more than sixty years ago.
It seems impossible. She doesn’t even know if Dot is still alive. Also, every person Mabel talks to seems to need help first, with missing husbands, daughters, parents. Mabel finds her list is just getting longer, and she’s still no closer to finding Dot.
What she doesn’t know though is that her list isn’t just about finding her old friend, and that if she can admit the secrets of the past, maybe she could even find happiness again.
A lovely heartbreaking, uplifting story, guaranteed to make you cry and smile.
