pick#Widowlit Mrs Palfrey arrives at the Claremont as many do, lost their spouse,doesn‘t want to be a burden to the children.A bittersweet book that is so beautifully written about the battles of aging, longing for 2nd acts.After all,it is London! The others are wondering why Mrs Palfrey talks of a grandson that never appears,then fate takes a turn.The characters are marvelous,I almost wanted to start it again! Charming & poignant.
