Publisher's Synopsis
Anti-social Rita Krumb is content to live alone in her dark, dreary house. She knows life could be better, but she's reluctant to change her ways. She's stuck in a rut. Her elderly neighbour Sophie Tuttle lives in a bright, colourful home with moth balls and Minard's Liniment. Miss Tuttle is busy coming or going or in her garden courting slugs with geraniums. When she recruits Rita to help carry in her groceries, the neighbours strike up an unusual friendship, one that revolves around lemon tarts and a million dollars.
