β¦ Synopsis
She canβt recall what started her collection. Maybe it was in a fragment of conversation overheard as she cleaned a sink? Before long (as she dusted a sitting room or defrosted a fridge) she noticed people were telling her their stories. Perhaps they always had done, but now it is different, now the stories are reaching out to her and she gathers them to herβ¦
Cleaner Janice knows that it is in peopleβs stories that you really get to know them. From recently-widowed Fiona and her son Adam; to opera-singing Geordie; and the awful Mrs βYeahYeahYeahβ and her fox terrier, Decius, Janice has a unique insight into the community around her.
When Janice starts cleaning for Mrs B β a shrewd and tricky woman in her nineties β she finally meets someone who wants to hear her story. But Janice is clear: she is the keeper of stories, she doesnβt have a story to tell. At least, not one she can share.
Mrs B is no fool and knows there is more to Janice than meets the eye. What is she hiding? After all, doesnβt everyone have a story to tell?
