Book description
>Next door it s a much more civilised arrangement - at least,
upstairs, where Anna lives with her husband Geoffrey in quiet,
comfortable wedded bliss. Too bad about the downstairs tenant, a single
mother of three who rents for a paltry 20 per week and will never leave.
Why would she, after all? She has a garden flat, in a lovely area, for
next to nothing, and no lump sum of money - no matter how much Anna
scrapes together to offer her - will be enough to bribe her to go.
As Time Goes By
is a look into the lives of two women who, despite living mere metres
away from each other, are as different as night and day. Their ambitions
may not be the same - Anna wishes desperately for a quiet life with her
increasingly distant husband, while Polly grasps at security for herself
and her children - but their struggles are surprisingly parallel in
certain ways. After all, what s more important to any of us than the
people we love most?> >Next door it s a much more civilised
