En savoir plus sur le livre
Friendships, feuds, romance, and unexpected secrets shake up a small community in this sharply funny and compassionate novel by the author of Five Winters. Frances Mathews doesn't get out much since her husband died, but that doesn't stop her from jump-starting a campaign to create a hedgehog highway in Hilltop Place--feeding stations, holes at the bottoms of gates and fences, and wild garden areas for hibernation. To Frances's delight, her neighbours are on board. Mostly. There are Jess and Michael, whose marriage is cracking under the unanticipated strain of a recent adoption. And Ryan, a wounded war reporter struggling to connect with his son after a divorce and forced to return to an exasperating parental fold. Plus, a very forthright single mum new to the neighbourhood and an exceedingly proper couple not about to upend their picture-perfect garden for prickly nuisances. As relationships--from the romantic to the nerve-racking--form and secrets are unearthed, Hilltop Place is threatened in ways that affect them all...unaware hedgehogs included. What Frances and her charitable neighbours soon discover about themselves and each other is hardly what any of them expected.
