This account by Sheila Hancock of how she coped with widowhood is honest, gripping and nicely-written. I am not sure who it is intended for....other widows, perhaps, who might (while they are reading this) aquire a little of Mrs Thaw's courage in getting out there after deciding that life, what's left of it, is worth living after all. It might help other women who find themselves in her situation. And any single person who travels will sympathise and identify with her graphic account of how it feels to walk into a hotel restaurant for dinner and a table for one. (Take a book!) I think she's gutsy, and a good writer.
