Books by Sue Wilding

A living-room Elsie, an elderly widow, lives alone and avoids socialising, believing "it doesn't do, to get involved". Then a new couple, Kate and Adrian, move in across the road and their young son Jamie invites Elsie round for tea. Soon the pair is inseparable, with Elsie being drafted in as babysitter whenever Kate and Adrian are out.

Sarah and Phil had recently separated when their son, Joe, was killed while playing football alone in a playground. Now Phil visits the same playground every day and sits on a bench, waiting for Joe to appear so he can talk to him.1 woman, 1 man, 1 boy
