Barney's who's wanting to cut down on work and have some more leisure time persuades his wife Nell and father Frank to move to Willowbrook. He then finds life's not as easy as it seems. Nells discovers lots to do in the community but Barney's finding it hard

Willowbrook is a very immersive setting and this instalment includes new characters who are equally engaging. This is a warm and uplifting story, full of different strands of human engagement, There are not quite as many laughs as the previous book, but it is very moving and I really enjoyed the interplay between all the characters,
