When Sylvia Garland returns to England, after the death of her husband and half a lifetime lived abroad, the last thing she expects is to find love again. But when her daughter-in-law Smita announces she is pregnant, and despite her own poor track record as a mother, she finds herself caught up in the excitement.
Before Sylvia knows it, she is 65 years old and head over heels in love - with her grandson.
SYLVIA GARLAND'S BROKEN HEART is a touching, witty look at family ties across the generations and the plight of grandparents when their children's relationships break down.
