It's said that wisdom comes with age, but if that's true, why would anyone risk falling in love after the age of 16? Maggie Stern is divorced, in her mid-40s and lives with her domineering father, Sir Nathaniel Stern, for whom she is a full-time carer. His death forces her to find work as a waitress in a rundown South London cafe and live in a rented room in a house owned by an eccentric Latvian woman. As Maggie starts to rebuild her life, newspaper revelations about her father's activities during WWII lead her to discover the uncomfortable truth about the source of her family's wealth. Then love appears from an unexpected quarter, and she is offered a second chance at life. Can she find the courage to grab it, or will she let the past destroy her happiness? A book about why being sensible isn't always sensible.
