A Little Hope
An ode to the beauty of the everyday, A Little Hope tracks the losses, loves and dreams of a small Connecticut town. 'This sensitive US debut about a group of neighbours should scratch the itch of any Elizabeth Strout fans...Simmering with everyday drama and heartache' Daily Mail
A deeply moving, life-affirming novel focussing on the residents in a small Connecticut town as they face everyday fears and desiresβa lost love, a stalled career, a diagnosisβthat pulls at the heartstrings, for readers of Olive Kitteridge and A Spool of Blue Thread.
In the small city of Wharton, Connecticut, lives are beginning to unravel. A husband betrays his wife. A son struggles with addiction. A widow misses her late spouse. At the heart of these interlinking stories is one couple: Freddie and Greg Tyler.
Greg has just been diagnosed with a brutal form of cancer. He intends to handle this the way he has faced everything else: through grit and determination. But can he successfully overcome his illness? How will Freddie and their daughter cope if he doesn't? How do the other residents of Wharton learn to live with loss and find happiness again?
Celebrating the grace in everyday life, this powerful debut immerses the reader in a community of friends, family, and neighbours and identifies the ways that love and forgiveness can help us survive even the most difficult of life's challenges.
