I loved this book so much. It brings together the lives of two very different people in an unexpected way and the friendship they form. Alfred is an elderly widower who uses antiques and collectables to fill the hole left by the death of his beloved wife. Kian is about to become an adult, let down by the care system, and not make the right choices. Kian throws a brick through Alfred's window, which causes Alfred to end up in hospital. He ends up with a social worker, who finds out his secret. He is a hoarder. Kian is placed on a rehabilitation programme, which means he must help Alfred clear out his house so that Alfred can live a normal life. As the story unfolds, a beautiful friendship develops, and the two change each others lives for the better.
