Description
Julia spends her days at a run-down London gym, counting the hours until something - anything - changes. Her eighty-year-old neighbour, George, spends his in memories: of lost love, suppressed guilt, and a life shadowed by a mysterious woman from 1964.
When George becomes convinced he may have finally found the daughter of that long-lost love - possibly his own - he persuades Julia to leave London behind and follow him to New York. What begins as an impulsive search for answers soon becomes a moving journey through memory, regret, and the enduring power of unexpected friendship - one that uncovers secrets, challenges a powerful religious cult, and forces both Julia and George to confront the truths they've long tried to ignore.
Witty, haunting, and full of heart, George is a novel about love, memory, and the extraordinary courage found in the most unlikely of bonds.

a book full of charm and emotional moments that you just cant get enough of. in a book like this you just want to keep reading because it just finds a resting place in your heart. you go on the journey with these two characters and you cant wait to see where you go. its a nostalgia hit this one. its a road trip, a friendship trip, a connecting trip.
these two are an unlikely friendship for sure. but what makes something likely? a young girl and old man might just need each other at the perfect moment. and it turns out i think we all need a bit of George and Julia in our lives.
this is a road trip so a journey. but the journey means sooooo much more than a trip in a vehicle. no this journey is about to take us way deeper than that. and i felt like i could be there, in the other passenger seat laughing,smiling, being moved alongside them.
i particularly love the dry wit in this book. its that dry moving into sarcastic humour that i love so much.
i was taken in from the very first moment in this book. this author has got that sparkle about their writing so i hope they get the applaud and self loving feeling we all did from reading their work.
