I knocked out 'The Memory Garden' by Mary Rickert over the last few days. I quite enjoyed it, it was like eating a nice meal or sitting in a garden on a summer's day. Like sitting around doing nothing all day it was very pleasant but without too much meaning or depth. The book sucks the reader in gently, has a nice conclusion and I enjoyed it - just not a lot of 'wow' factor.
