3.0

Very slow to begin with, perhaps because of all of the different characters and information about them, which is to be expected when it is apparently the first in a new series for the author.
I liked the very short chapters; they helped to move the story along.
Everything was resolved very quickly, neatly and tidily at the end.

when Mabel's husband, Arthur, dies it sets in motion a journey of self-discovery and hope.
Along the way Mabel makes friends and turns her solitary life into one of fun and shared secrets.
A gentle story of love, loss and new beginnings.
