Friends of Dorothy by Sandi Toksvig

 I enjoyed this book more than I was expecting. It isn’t very ‘real’ but it’s just a good fun romp.

Amber and Stevie are recently married, and have bought a house together – what they weren’t expecting was an octogenarian sitting tenant called Dorothy! Dorothy quickly gets under their skin – making them delicious meals, and tidying up around the house, although she nearly ruins it when she makes a large hole through a downstairs wall thinking she was being helpful and making it more open plan. Enter the builders – one of which seems to be fond of Stevie’s best friend Jack.

It is amusing, and it had a novel (if unbelievable) story line, and I was happy to read it to the end.
