The greater the roof damage, the better the view

Life goes where it wants – a wonderfully amusing novel by Alexandra Potter. Nell had imagined life differently. In her early 40s, it sounded like a loving husband, wonderful children, and a fantastic home. Instead, her fiancé is gone, her business is bankrupt, and her savings are depleted, while all her friends lead perfect glossy lives. When an old colleague offers her a job as an obituary writer, she meets the unconventional and vivacious widow, Cricket. The mismatched friends help each other cope with the farewell to their old lives. Accompanied by Arthur, a giant ball of fur in the form of a dog, Nell finally forges her own path. Along the way, she meets a man to fall in love with, where she least expected it.
