Lovers & Newcomers

I quite enjoyed Lovers & Newcomers by Rosie Thomas which was set in the English countryside.  A middle-aged widow, Miranda, invites her friends from her university days to live out their retirement on her property to keep each other company.  There are two couples who have been together for 30 years and a single male friend.  One couple has bought part of Miranda's property to build a modern home but during the initial excavation a discovery is made which will affect all their lives.  There are many other characters introduced to the story but it is mainly about friends in their sixties trying to deal with the fact they are getting older.  31/2/5
