The Simple Things
centres on the relationship between Stephen, a fairly clueless ten-year-old
boy, and his formidable great aunt, Lola. When Stephen’s family decide to visit
Lola for three weeks, Stephen comes face-to-face with this seemingly fierce
woman whom he has only ever known as a name on a birthday card. Reluctant to
warm to her at first, Stephen soon learns that Lola isn’t just any old lady. He
begins to see that despite their age gap, they really do have a lot in common,
and it is through this unlikely friendship that Stephen does a lot of growing up and
Lola does a lot of mending.
This is a cute, humorous book that won’t take you long to
read, but will give you some food for thought. Especially about the simple things in life and the importance of family.
