There was only one thing on the list he left. Or it did at first, anyway.
Arthur, the husband of Mabel Beaumont, cherished lists. Everywhere he went, he left them for her. "Remember: sugar, butter, and eggs." "I love you forever, today, and tomorrow."
However, Arthur is no longer with us. He passed away quietly, peacefully, and without fanfare. He did, however, leave her a list. 'Find D' is the only item on this one, though.
Mabel is certain that she understands its meaning. Since she hasn't seen her best friend Dot since the tragic day she departed more than sixty years ago, she needs to find her.
It appears unfeasible. She has no idea whether Dot is still alive. Additionally, it appears like everyone Mabel speaks with—husbands gone, daughters gone, parents missing—needs assistance first. Mabel discovers that she is still not any closer to finding Dot and that her list is only growing larger.
She is unaware that her list entails more than just locating her former acquaintance. And that perhaps she could even find happiness once more if she can confess the mysteries of the past.
An incredibly moving, lovely, and inspirational tale that will make you laugh and cry at the same time. Ideal for lovers of The Keeper of Stories, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and My Name is Ove.
