These two sensitive and highly contemporary novels, about the inexplicable nature of human relationships, center around Jane Somers, ostensibly their author, a handsome, fashionable middle-aged woman, the editor of a successful woman's magazine. Since the death of her husband - with whom she seldom had any serious communication and for whom she hardly grieved - she has felt emotionally disconnected. By chance, in the local pharmacy, she meets Maudie, a skinny, tattered, dirty scrap of humanity in her eighties, possessed of a fierce and indomitable pride. The Diary of a Good Neighbour is the story of the extraordinary friendship that develops between the two and the transforming effect it has on both. If the Old Could... continues the story of Jane when other changes once again dislocate her life and she most improbably falls in love with a man she literally meets on the street. The realization of the voice and the very essence of Jane is one of the author's considerable achievements.

脑子里一直在转，她说那编辑打电话问她，那个叫简萨默斯的记者跟她有没有关系。便想，也许一个人的语言的确有规律——或者说得文艺一点，有风格可循。如今要是再拿起金色笔记原文来读，我不知道我是不是会惊艳得更少一些，而理解得更深一些。
