Description:
Cast
adrift by loss, Monica Sparrow is marooned in her semi in Neasden, the
so-called 'loneliest village in London', her home stuffed with nothing she
needs. Is it time for her to finally get her house in order? Can she isolate
what really matters, and clear the junk? And while it's too late for her family
to be as they were, can Monica fashion an entirely new one, from the
unlikeliest set of contenders?
Monica's
sister, Diane, already a right piece of work and looking to take it up a notch,
seems lost to Monica forever. But a few unexpected diversions see her careering
in a most unanticipated direction. Xavier, a master of minimalism, discards
people as easily as any other clutter. An editor at a prestigious publishing
house, he's lumbered with Monica — a wannabe writer spectacularly different
from any he's previously encountered.
Having
lived virtually family-free into adulthood, Jamie suddenly acquires Monica and
Diane as elder sisters, and a job, a proper one. Used to living on the margins
and unfamiliar with group dynamics, this proverbial black sheep might just
become the most improbable anchor.
Four
isolated people. Thrown together by family and circumstance. A humorous and heart
warming story of second chances and new beginnings.
