What a great read! It starts off as a warm, gentle, funny, quaint and quirky story about 2 old ladies. I thought it was going to be a gorgeous hug of a book, like being wrapped in a snuggly duvet. And it was, at first. But there are constant surprises and with each surprise it gets deeper and darker and the pace picks up until it's quite a page turner. There are so many "issues" in here too, it could keep a reading group going for absolutely ages, although the main "issue" is religion. Really enjoyed it.
