Margaret, 75, is a Cilla Black mega fan and when she starts receiving letters signed ‘C’, Margaret is convinced they are from Cilla.  The story reflects back of Margaret’s childhood where she is institutionalised or ‘vanished’ for being having learning difficulties.  The story depicts Margaret’s life events and friendships while institutionalised.  In the present day, her social worker, Wayne, encourages Margaret to think back over her life as to who ‘C’ could really be.
Such a pleasant, feel-good book, you really warm to Margaret and her innocence.  A cosy read with happy vibes.
