|summary=Lost jobs, forays into the past, resolved misunderstandings... the only memorable feature of this book is a likeable sister with Down's Syndrome. Plenty of themes but not much plot. Nevetherless it's well-written and makes good bedtime reading.

Jasmine is the main protagonist of this book, and also the narrator. She’s single and has just lost her job, much to her dismay. She’s the kind of person who likes to be busy and to have a purpose in life, but the conditions of her former employment mean that she’s on a year’s ‘gardening leave’: she receives a full salary but is not allowed to start another job for a full year.
