This is a short, concise, philosophical, pensive and gentle book about loneliness and love.
The premise is built around a relationship that begins unexpectedly between a woman in her thirties and her old teacher who is double her age. Her thoughts and the subtle, unsaid developments in the relationship are explored in the book.
It's a good book that has a lot to say, very subtly, about loneliness and what we value in our relationships.
