It's a truly heartwarming read. Centred around eccentric Iona, a magazine agony aunt and her daily commute with her dog Lulu, a lesbian feminist in love with her wife Bea. An incident involving a grape and a passenger nearly choking brings together an unlikely very different bunch of people, Piers, a man who works in the city, Sanjay a male nurse who has panic attacks, Martha a school girl being bullied, Emmie a young woman working in PR with a perfect fiance, and David a property lawyer. Interweaving stories crafted wonderfully. Iona at the helm, comforting and counselling her unlikely friends through their various issue's. You invest and want the best outcones for them all. A really comfortable, easy reading, loveable, brilliant book.
