In a Nutshell: An unusual story. The title and cover makes this debut novel appear light and easy-going, but it gets quite intense at times. Definitely worth reading for its quirky protagonist and its character-oriented storyline.

Story Synopsis:
75-year-old Margaret Small has been a lifelong Cilla Black fan. After the death of the singer, Margaret begins receiving anonymous envelopes containing cash, with a note simply signed ‘C’. Margaret is sure that these are from Cilla, but whom canshow more
she confide in? Her young caregiver Wayne will surely laugh at her.
To resolve the mystery, we are also given a glimpse of another timeline beginning from 1947, when little Margaret was first ‘vanished” into a long-stay institution for children with learning disabilities.
Both the timelines are narrated to us in the first person pov of Margaret.
