At 32, Virginia Lloyd finally meets the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with, only to discover that he is dying from cancer. When John dies just two years later, as well as handling her own grief, Virginia must battle the chronic rising damp in the house they shared. And so, in her first year as a young widow, the house, like Virginia, must dry from the inside out. The Young Widow's Book of Home Improvement is a wry and touching love story that plays with the parallels between our homes and ourselves. |
