She's in her mid-thirties, perpetually single, her friends are busy procreating in the countryside and conversations with her parents seem to revolve entirely around the council's wheelie-bin timetable. And she's lonely. But then, isn't everyone? When she's made redundant from a job she hardly cares about, she takes herself out for a fancy dinner. There she has the best sticky toffee pudding of her life and realises she has no one to tell. She vows to begin living her life fully, reconnect with her friends and family, and finally book that dentist's appointment. Gwen decides to start where all things get a second chance: her local charity shop. There, with the help of the weird and wonderful people and donated items bursting with untold stories, Gwen will find a way to move forward with bravery, tenacity, and more regular dental care. Dazzlingly witty, Preloved is a tale about friendship, loss and being true to yourself no matter the expectations. Lovingly celebrating the enduring power and joy of charity shops."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $x Conduct of life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Thrift shops $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013020.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012959.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F4F80C430FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
