A sweet, gently lovely read

 

 ⭑⭑⭑⭑  Warm and delightful, Meredith Maggs is an exceptionally cheery character with a story to tell. She goes about her day working, baking, assembling jigsaw puzzles and cuddling her cat but hasn't left her house in 1214 days. Easy enough to do in this day and age, but why?

In Meredith, Alone we go about each day popping back and forth in time with Meredith who is so bright and sweet anyone would love her. It is easy to care for her and worry about her situation, which is explained gradually as the story unfolds. Luckily, Meredith is not actually alone. She has friends and family who care for her and help her as much as she helps them. A truly lovely book, Meredith, Alone brought a smile to my face.
