Thanks to NetGalley, Random House and Elizabeth Berg (one of my favorite writers!) for the opportunity to get to know Arthur by reading this amazing book!
Arthur is an 85-year-old widow who spends every lunch hour at the cemetery eating lunch at his wife's gravesite. While he's there, he also visits others' graves and imagines the lives they led. Arthur begins to notice teenage Maddy at the cemetery, when she should be in school. They strike up a conversation and a friendship begins. Maddy is having trouble at school and at home and Arthur provides a needed friend. Add to this Arthur's neighbor across the street, Lucille, who is alone and lonely. These three people come together to once again prove that friendship can be the best type of family.
Sweet, quirky, uplifting, wonderful - highly recommended!
