| Description |
The story is told by Gabriel who is rubber-stamping papers in a boring job in Australia when he gets a series of calls from his home in the Maniototo telling him that his elderly mother is causing problems with maps, placing numerous mouse traps on her front path, and keeping a washing machine full of apples. He returns home reluctantly to find she is being difficult, but no more difficult than usual. However, we discover Maggie is a spritely, idiosyncratic, and funny widow and when she gets round to telling Gabriel about his father, whom he never knew, and the road that wasn't there, she not only has him spellbound but the audience too. |
