I Narratori Delle Tavole Published: Claire feels left out a lot of the time and this upsets her.

She develops a friendship with Mr Sanjay, her elderly next door neighbour. My Sanjay is a very quiet and thoughtful man, incredibly wise and he develops a fondness for Claire. He takes her under his wing and spends many hours with her talking about life. When Mr Sanjay dies Claire is devastated and attends his funeral in a bright red dress that she knew Mr Sanjay would appreciate as he loved colour. Mistakenly she picks the wrong door and ends up at the funeral of Paul Davill who recently died very young from pneumonia.

Claire's presence at this funeral takes everyone's attention, especially Gweenie, Paul's widow. Both Claire and Gweenie have more in common than they know and eventually will be brought further together.

Product description

This is really a very well written mystery and I would highly recommend it. While this book was a departure from my typical reading I found the story line well crafted and intriguing.

Well written and enjoyable. This book was captivating in that you never knew really what to expect. I really enjoyed it, the only draw back was that you had to really listen carefully because the main two characters changed from one to another immediately in the story.

It is a mystery that moves along slowly, peeling back different layers of the story and the characters as the book progresses, I found this captivating. Claire lives at home with her mother Peg and sister Marla, her mother and sister have a unique relationship and we discover this as the book becomes more involved.
