A short, surprisingly deep slice-of-life novel flitting in and around the life of spirited septuagenarian Morayo Da Silva, who had (and has) a life many would not guess at if not told and shown. It's a delightful journey to follow Morayo (and her friends and acquaintances) and to think about the fullness of the lives of those around us every day. You could easily finish this in a day, but it's also a pleasure to step back and let it sink in.
