In their seventies, they live by habit and silence, especially around the painful secret buried since Minnie was sixteen. Across the street, 11-year-old Max escapes his troubled home life by watching Minnie’s steady routines from his window. Over one summer, Minnie writes in her diary while Max records his thoughts on a Dictaphone, and the two stories slowly weave together as old ghosts surface, hidden truths emerge, and unlikely comfort grows between them in a tale that’s both dark and gently uplifting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kay Langdale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50752864223529,"sku":"618428B","price":8.25,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9435\/7545\/files\/the-comfort-of-others-4321521.jpg?v=1766141585","url":"https:\/\/thebookstore.ca\/products\/the-comfort-of-others","provider":"The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
