On a peaceful avenue stands the once-grand Wisteria House. Now it's split into apartments, occupied by strangers who rarely say hello. Could one last dinner party bring it to life again?
Ninety-year-old Alice has one last wish: to fill her new home with light and laughter, just like when her husband was alive. So she sets out her favourite plates, opens an old recipe book, and sends invitations to the neighbours she's certain need friendship just as much as she does...
Declan hasn't believed he deserves to follow his dreams since he tragically lost his sister.
Jess has been working herself to the bone to provide for her little daughter and has no time for joy in her own life.
Mark, a widower, has been isolated in his grief for so long.
Over a shared meal, Alice reminds each of them that sharing stories keeps those we love alive, and that time is our most precious gift. As they hug goodbye, everyone feels lighter than they have in years. Little do they know Alice has her own secret reason for gathering them together...
The next morning the tenants receive terrible news. Is their first dinner party destined to be the last? With Wisteria House under threat, can they come together to save the one place that has only just started to feel like home? Or will they lose their little community just when they need it most?
This absolutely gorgeous, emotional and uplifting novel of finding friendship in the most unexpected of places is perfect for fans of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont, Sally Page and Kate Storey.
