Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Jeremy is a child-like, painfully shy batchelor who has never left home. He lives on the third floor of his mother's boarding house and spends his days cutting up coloured paper to make mosaic sculptures - until the day his mother dies and the beautiful Mary Tell arrives to turn his world upside down.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amateur Marriage and Digging to America.

Disappointing

Audio version...quite a strange and ultimately dull story. And the ending seemed rushed. Wasn't impressed.
