Cheer up Mr. Widdicombe

Cheer up Mr. Widdicombe / Evan James, read by Jonathan Davis, 277 pgs.

The Widdicombe's are a quirky bunch.  Frank and Carole and artistic gay son Christopher.  Add in a visiting friend, Gracie, their assistant Michelle and the gardener, Marvelous Matthews, and you get a great story about a group that isn't dysfunctional...in fact they are very functional.  Sure, they have a little issue here and there but nothing major.  Michelle likes a guy who is bad for her.  Marvelous hides that he is on the wagon from Gracie, and Carole thinks Frank is depressed (he isn't).  Is kind of refreshing to read a fun story where people are doing things but none of them seem like bad choices.
