Description
Simon's life is one of quiet routine, punctuated by the occasional snippet of music that seems to hold him in its grasp. His sister Etta finds solace in her gardening, while their landlady Mrs Prideaux moves through the house with an air of quiet dignity, as if she has just returned from a journey to another world.
It is this latter presence that fascinates Simon's friend Sandra, who finds herself drawn into a world of poetry and beauty. As they share tea together, Sandra brings her own unique perspective to the experience, finding meaning in even the simplest things.
This charming novel offers a glimpse into the lives of its characters, exploring themes of identity, creativity and the power of human connection.
