Book description
>Roy, a retired milkman and Reggie, a former RAF Squadron Leader,
are widowed on the same day. To assuage their grief, the vicar arranges
for Roy to move in with Reggie as his unpaid manservant. To their
surprise, they form a strange alliance, based on obedience, need and the
strangeness of single life. Then Reggie meets Liz, a vibrant but
near-bankrupt woman of irresistible appeal, while Roy and his son s
family grow gradually closer. Marriage, it seems, however far from
ideal, can be a great protector against isolation.> >Roy, a
