Light and fast paced, this book covers less than a year of Olivia Green's life, but one of great change. She is a house cleaner in Manningham, England, with a husband and two teenage sons. She has worked several days a week for her favorite author, Essie Starling, whose books she has read for 20 years. Essie's faith in her and her own desire to become a writer, push Liv to rethink who she is as she completes one last task assigned by Essie. Sort of a late-in-life coming of age tale, during which Liv grows, investigates, and feels differently about her own self and her own life. A light read, with entertaining characters. Includes discussion questions for book groups.
