‘ Her wit and sense of fun are as ready as ever’ – The Times

The Tower Guesthouse lies nestled between the beech woods of Buckinghamshire. It is run by the unlikely partnership of balmy Miss Padsoe and young, cockney Miss Baker – divided by class and age, they are determined to dislike each other. Through their tale and the interwoven tribulations of two young lovers, Gibbons’s sparkling novel explores the heart of friendship and what unites us.
