Where the Light Gets In by Lucy Dillon

Lucy Dillon is a very accomplished author.  I can't remember reading any of her books before but will try some more based on Where the Light Gets In.

The story drew me in quickly and I read voraciously until I had to get the tissues out at the end – it's not a tragedy but the death of an old lady was very affecting.

This is set in a British village and could be described as an aga saga – except there was no aga!  It's really about relationships and finding out what you are good at.

I also liked the allusion to the Leonard Cohen song in the title.
