Beschreibung
All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle George McGlory - recent widower, part-time librarian, pub quiz enthusiast and lover of loud shirts - witnesses a public health funeral and is deeply moved by the sight of the lonely coffin with no flowers and no mourners in attendance. He joins forces with Elena, a florist, Edwin, an undertaker, Sid, the owner of a bric-a-brac and second-hand furniture emporium, and Roxy his library colleague to form The Light a Candle Society and banish lonely funerals for good. As they honour the dead together, George reflects on his own life and the rifts within his family. Can he find the courage and humility to face the demons of his past and repair his broken relationships before it's too late? Praise for Ruth Hogan: 'Magical ... uplifting ' ANTON DU BEKE 'Told with wit and heart' BETH MORREY 'Every page is a joy' PIP WILLIAMS 'Delightfully uplifting' WOMAN'S OWN 'Full of hope' PRIMA
