The Handover by David M. Barnett
3.0
A bittersweet story featuring Daisy who works the evening shift as a security guard at the Manchester Museum of Social History and ate ho works the day shift. Their paths crossing once a day for the handover that Daisy insists is important.
Each harbouring struggling in their own lives, Daisy letting her past cripple her to the point where her life consists of looking after her sick mother during the day and her work at the museum in the evening. With her drunk suiter added into the mix too. Whereas Nate is attempting to be a different father to his son Ben than his own abusive father. Navigating life after his divorce as his ex introduces her new boyfriend.
The story has a similar feel to Elinor Oliphant and The Flatshare. An endearing journey as Daisy and Nate learn the importance of letting people close to them and discovering a deeper connection
