No Dates Required - Carol Harrington

. .

Résumé :
Mary becomes a four times widow after falling for the charms of four Fillet brothers respectively, Fergus, Finley, Frank and Fred, who lived next door to her on the street called Fillet Crescent - named by the local council after generations of fillet fishermen and their families having lived there. All four husbands die mysteriously in fishing accidents, turning Mary into a cursed woman for the mother of the four sons, Mrs 'Francis' Fillet. Becoming a widow for the fourth time, indulges in Internet dating, and lives under the disapproving judgements of the gossiping Mrs Fillet. Despite their rocky past, an unlikely friendship forms between the quirky Flange 'Mary' Fillet and the 'self-satisfying show-off' - as Mary calls her - Mrs Fillet. No Dates Required is a humorous tale of everyday adventures of these two quaint neighbors, and the different people they meet in pursuit of a tenant under the looming onset of the Covid pandemic.
