All The Lonely People
by Mike Gayle
Another enjoyable read from Mike Gayle - this time on the theme of loneliness. Windrush-generation widower Hubert Bird, an 84-year-old man, lives alone in Bromley. He chats on the phone each week to his daughter Rose, but she doesn't live locally and he is estranged from his son. When a young neighbour called Ashleigh calls on Hubert to introduce herself, he is initially wary, not wanting to form a friendship with someone so different from him, but when Ashleigh needs assistance, she calls on Hubert to help, he discovers that with a bit of perseverence, it is possible to find friends when you least expect it...
