Sinopsis de The Light a Candle Society

LIFE-AFFIRMING AND FULL OF LOVECelia Anderson

A TOP TEN KINDLE BESTSELLER ABOUT THE POWER OF KINDNESS.

George McGlory is showing off his new shirt to his wife, Audrey. Its got bright-orange parrots on, but he knows she wont say anything. Hes talking to the headstone at her grave. Audrey passed away two years ago, and George is still muddling through.

Across the cemetery he sees a lonely coffin with only council pallbearers in attendance. Mrs Kathleen Hooley was eighty-nine and she died safe and warm in her own bed, but had no friends or family to organise a funeral - or even send flowers.

Even through his own grief, George is deeply touched by Kathleens lonely funeral. No one should be sent out of this world alone, surely?

Not on Georges watch. With the help of his friends, he creates the Light a Candle Society, to make sure no one is forgotten. It might just remind him that theres still light in his life, too . . .

An uplifting story of how compassion, kindness and care can shine a light in the darkest of times, perfect for fans of Mike Gayle, Ruth Jones, Jennie Godfrey or Graham Norton.
