There’s glamorous Gloria and quiet Derek too, each wearing their own knitwear gifts.The three former colleagues haven’t been in the same room for years, something Bridget has been perfectly happy with. But when they’re asked to grant their friend’s final wish – to scatter his ashes in the Shetland Islands – Bridget finds herself swept into an adventure she never planned.Crammed into a battered minivan, armed with far too much yarn and not nearly enough patience, the unlikely trio head north.
