The uplifting new novel from Sunday Times bestseller Caroline Day.
Friendship can bloom in the unlikeliest of places . . .
Kiki grew up in New Zealand, dreaming of one day going to Glastonbury Festival. Now, mourning the loss of her beloved Yaya - the woman who raised her - she travels to the UK to follow that dream. It is only when she leaves home that she realises just how sheltered her life has been up until now.
Ned lives an active and exciting life. Well, he did until the accident. Now, he's woken from his coma, except no one knows. He can hear everything happening around him but can't make his body respond.
Still grieving for her best friend, the one person who'd known how difficult her marriage was, Mrs Malley, finds herself lonely and isolated with only her dog, Wordsworth, to keep her company.
These three strangers are each in need of a little kindness in their lives, and this beautifully poignant novel shows us the world through their eyes whilst highlighting the power of human connection.

      Narrators Natalie Beran, Ben Allen, and Helen Lloyd bring this charming story of unlikely friendship to life. After a horrible accident, Ned, a minor Internet celebrity, finds himself locked in his own body and struggling to communicate. Ben Allen gives a believable performance as a man who is struggling to be understood, even as his body betrays him. Mrs. Malley is shaken out of her own grumbling existence after a stroke when she is rescued by Kiki, a New Zealand girl who feels lost in England. Helen Lloyd shines as the uptight Mrs. Malley, who is blind to her own prejudices. Natalie Beran's chipper delivery as Kiki gives the whole audiobook a bubbly flair and brings together the three characters for an uplifting look at human kindness.
