'A heartwarming and funny read from the brilliant Ruth Jones' Heat (Book of the Week)
'Filled with compassion and populated with wonderfully engaging characters' Observer
Because second chances come when you least expect them . . .
Linda Standish has been a friend to the friendless for the past thirty-three years, in her role at the council's Unclaimed Heirs Unit. And now she's looking forward to the joys of an early retirement.
But before she hangs up her lanyard, Linda takes on one last case - that of Levi Norman - a Welshman who made his home on a remote Scottish island for the five years before he died. Linda must visit Storrich to track down Levi's remaining relatives . . .
What brought Levi here? And who did he leave behind? Obliged to travel (by hearse!) with her arch nemesis, and helped (and hindered...) by the local residents, Linda searches for clues to a life now lost. And in the process unexpectedly makes new friends, and discovers things about herself she never knew.
Bursting with all the heart and humour that has made Ruth's name as a screenwriter and author, By Your Side is a joyful celebration of friendship, love and community.
