Nell Stevens' life is a mess. Now, she moves back to London to start over. But a lot has changed since she's been gone. All her single friends are happily married with children. When an old work contact gets her a job writing obituaries, she meets Cricket, an eighty-something widow who never had kids and they strike up an unlikely friendship. Whereas Nell's friends are all busy with their families, all Cricket's friends are dying off. They help each other cope with the loss of their old lives and navigate towards new ones with optimism, poignancy and humour.
