Book ID/图书代码： 05430014B73384
English Summary/英文概要： A captivating drama with a wonderfully dry comic touch, HESTER AND HARRIET features two unconventional and gutsy sixty-something sisters. Wilfully oblivious to the social niceties of their conventional little village, they have compassionate natures and a secret desire to break out of the quiet rut their lives are in.
Hester and Harriet are reluctantly driving to their well-meaning relatives’ on Christmas Dsay when they come across a frail young woman sheltering in a bus stop with her tiny baby. Their desire to get out of the meal, along with a concern for this woman, takes them down an unexpected route…
