The Perfectly simple complicated life of maggie halloran
This story starts out with Maggie and she's retired, finally from her real estate job.
Her daughter Alice lives in the city of London and works there.
Her mother has just announced she's remarrying, she's in her 80's and helps to organize things.
When they return from the honeymoon things are not as they appear to be...
Daughter announces she's leaving London, having a baby and moving in with her mother.
Things just go from bad to worse to castrohphe level. All the furnitue they want Maggie to keep for them in her house. It's perfect size for just Maggie and she ends up giving up her own bedroom for the expectant mother and child to be.
Dog is another story, as she finds herself cuddling the dog but then there are times he's misbehaved and daughter has to tend to him.
She has a boyfriend that comes to visit and he's out of sorts with all that is gong on. The ex husband shows up to reassociate himself to his daughter.
Maggie has just had it but that's not all that happens, she just wants to do her sudoku puzzles and do things she wants to do.
She has a male friend who helped fix the house up for her and he stays in contact.
I thought USA people had drama but this beats it all. It's comical at times and serious at other times.
Have not gone through what she has had to endure and can't imagine I will, don't even want to LOL
There are ex spouses and new boyfriends also, what a mix.
Love the English landscape and communities that are discussed and getting familiar with the slang. I used to hate English books but Tule authors have made me want to read about them again.
Never imagined things would turn out as they did, WOW
Like learning about infliencers and the blog and how it all works.
Love how there were many generations in this story, you get to see all their particular problems.
Listing of other works by the author are listed at the end.
About the author is included. Next book in the series is mentioned and acknowledgments.
Received this review copy from the author and htis is my honest opinion. ( )
