Seventy year old Percy Darling is settling happily into retirement. He is reading novels, watching old movies and swimming naked in his pond. His routines are disrupted when he is persuaded to let a locally beloved pre-school take over his barn. As Percy sees his rural refuge overrun by children, parents and teachers, he must re-examine the solitary life that he has made for himself in the three decades since the sudden untimely death of his wife.
This is a captivating tale about a man who can no longer remain aloof from his community, his two grown daughters or to his great shock, the precarious joy of falling in love.
I don't know which character I enjoyed the most, Percy, Trudy, Clover, Robert, Turo or Ira and Anthony.
It was a wonderful book!!!!
