Title - Mr Alhourani's Dead Man's Spots
Genre - Contemporary Fiction
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Alhouranis-De...
Mr Alhourani's Dead Man's Spots is a story about unexpected friendships, love, loneliness and loyalty and how one man’s desire to improve the lives of those around him, through simple acts of generosity, can really make a difference.
Annie Grimes moves to London in search of a more fulfilling life. However, work quickly takes over as she is faced with a demanding boss, Geraldine Hall, who runs the Golden Dawn Care Home based on timetables and targets rather than feelings. As Annie watches the life savings of the elderly shrink, she begins to question the quality and type of care provided to those who are preparing to meet their maker.
Her landlord, Mr Alhourani, a man with a strong social conscience, and an uncanny knack for saying things that most people wouldn’t dream of putting into words, tries his best to keep her spirits high and health in good check. He also possesses a deep love of London and does his best to open Annie’s eyes to the brilliance of the city that has become her new home.
When the offer of a highly lucrative job comes Annie’s way, she begins to wonder whether money is more important than loyalty and her desire to help others.
What happens if the carers become careless?
Is fighting someone else's battle more important than protecting yourself?
When it comes to love, how can she get someone to shut their mouth and open their eyes to what is staring them in the face?
These are all questions Annie has to find an answer to in the story Mr Alhourani’s Dead Man’s Spots.
