About this book

Every favour went into the ledger; forty-one years later, its entries could decide whether Brian Hale’s neighbourhood survives.

For four decades, a housing estate’s labour-exchange ledger has kept track of favours nobody imagined would carry legal force. When a dissolution clause turns its entries into voting shares, grieving widower Brian Hale must redeem old kindnesses face to face to protect the neighbourhood and the pages written by his late wife. Amid committee wrangles, casseroles and reluctant connection, each memory recovered also becomes a vote for home.
