A charming and uplifting story, perfect for fans of A Man Called Ove
or Jonas Jonasson.
Biddy Weir is a quirky girl.
Abandoned by her mother as a baby, and with a father who's not quite
equipped for the challenges of modern parenting, Biddy lives in her own
little world, happy to pass her time painting by the sea and watching
the birds go by. That is, until she meets Alison Flemming.
Because there are a few things about Biddy that aren't normal, you see.
And Alison isn't afraid to point them out to the world.
All of a sudden, Biddy's quiet life is thrown into turmoil. If only
there was someone to convince her that, actually, everyone's a little
bit weird....
A story of abuse and survival, of falling down and of starting again,
and of one woman's battle to learn to love herself for who she is, The
Lonely Life of Biddy Weir is Lesley Allen's startlingly honest debut
novel.
