Since her sister died, seventy-five year-old Meg has been on her own. She doesn't mind, not really -- not with Atticus, her African grey parrot, to keep her company -- but after her house is broken into by a knife-wielding intruder, she decides it might be good to have some company after all... Andy Chan, second-year university student, has to give up his student flat and find a homeshare. Living with an elderly Australian woman is harder than he'd expected, though, and soon he's struggling with more than his studies.
