This was a gentle read with both moments of humour and more emotional moments as three strangers meet whilst queueing to see the Queen prior to her funeral. They each represent three different generations and each are struggling with parts of their lives, the emotion and tiredness of their time in the queue brings them to the fore and they find how simple it can be to be honest to strangers. This had some great characters with good backstories but nothing complicated, the simplicity of which worked well and was told alternately throughout one day. It left me hoping that they’d all keep in contact and maintain the tentative friendships beyond the day.
