About this book
As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.
June cleans houses. Ray works as a janitor at the public tennis courts in Dun Laoghaire. They are both over seventy, and neither of them has ever quite fitted where they were meant to.
Ray is not romantic material. June is not even sure she is friend material. He looks a bit like Willie Nelson, she looks a bit like Chrissie Hynde, and between them sits a lifetime of paths that seemed to close before they could be taken.
As unlikely companions, they begin with little expectation of each other, or of themselves. Yet slowly, through the awkward work of learning how to be with another person late in life, something opens. Understanding grows into friendship, and June and Ray find themselves rediscovering a joy they had gone too long without.
