Reviews

[Cameron Baxter · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very charming short biography of the author's favourite Aunt. It starts when the author was a boy at boarding school when his Aunt would take him out for lunch, tea and cakes. Throughout the book, we see how their relationship developed to the end of her life, when the author would take her out for lunch, tea and cakes. A sweet and moving account of intergenerational affection.
