    "description": "<p>The Lady in the Van meets The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry in this uplifting, funny and moving debut novel about a 79-year-old hoarder who is convinced the world is against her.<br /> <br /> 79-year-old Gloria Frensham is a hoarder. She lives amongst piles of magazines, squashed cardboard boxes, surplus carpet rolls, heaps of towels and knick-knacks littering the stairs. She hasn&rsquo;t left her home for years, until a loud bang and a sudden smell of singeing sets in motion Gloria&rsquo;s unwilling exodus from her home&hellip;<br /> <br /> That day is the start of a journey that will never return Gloria back to her beloved, hoarded possessions, nor to her son&rsquo;s house to live. For it is the start of her journey to discover life again &ndash; and she&rsquo;s going to make some good friends and defiant decisions along the way, with just one very small suitcase in tow&hellip;<br /> <br /> Heart-warming and poignant in equal measure, this is a story about the loneliness of life, the struggles of growing old, the power of kindness, and the bravery it takes to leave our comfort zones.</p>",
