Krátky popis
From bonding to bondage, from B&,amp,Q to Belarus, along with
seven smelly cats, three useless handymen, two slimy estate agents,
social workers, a bonker lady. The story of a very unlikely
friendship. Georgie Sinclair's husband has walked out, her
sixteen-year-old son is busy surfing born-again websites, and all
those overdue articles for Adhesives in the Modern World are
getting her down. So when Georgie spots Mrs Shapiro, an eccentric
old Jewish émigré neighbour with an eye for a bargain and a
fondness for matchmaking, rummaging through her skip in the middle
of the night, it's just the distraction she needs. And although
they mistrust each other at first – Georgie doesn't like the look
of that past-its-sell-by-date fish, while Mrs Shapiro thinks
Georgie needs to smarten herself up and grab a new husband – a firm
friendship is formed over the reduced-price shelf at the
supermarket. Then Mrs Shapiro is admitted to hospital and to
Georgie's surprise, she is named as her next of kin. But sorting
out Mrs Shapiro's semi-derelict mansion in Highbury, home to seven
stinky cats with agendas of their own, is no easy job when the
handyman called in to change the locks turns out to be not what he
seems and his two assistants, 'the Uselesses', are doing more
breaking than fixing. And what about the two slimy estate agents
(one with a charming taste for bondage) who start competing to
trick Mrs Shapiro into selling her rickety old house, or the social
worker determined to commit her to a nursing home? As Georgie steps
in to help her new friend, she finds herself unravelling a mystery
which takes her from Highbury to wartime Europe to the Middle East,
and learning a bit about DIY along the way.
