The Story of Arthur Truluv is the latest from Elizabeth Berg. A short, sweet little novel about 85 year old Authur who meets 18 year old Maddy in the cemetery where he goes daily to visit his wife. They form an unlikely yet tender relationship which is the heart of this novel. Arthur’s neighbor Lucille joins in the fun and everyone’s as happy as orange blossom cookies with a good cup of tea.

Perhaps a little too quaint, but its been a while since I read such a sweet book. Wish it had been a bit longer, just as you start caring about the characters, it’s over. It felt more like a short story than a novel, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
