It may surprise you how extraordinary an ordinary life can be. Denny, a slightly eccentric banjo picker and self-taught computer geek, can roast and serve up a perfect cup of coffee. He adores Rosie, the love of his life. Rosie is grappling with full-on menopause and the fact that an editor told her to scrap the novel she’s been working on for fifteen years. Their delightful dance shows it is really the simple things that make for “A Happy Life.” A light-hearted read.
