Miss Hargreaves: A Novel (The Bloomsbury Group) by Baker, Frank. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781608190515.

When, on the spur of the moment, Norman Huntley and his friend Henry invent an eighty-three-year-old woman called Miss Hargreaves, they are inspired to post a letter to their new fictional friend. It is only meant to be a silly, harmless game―until Miss Hargreaves arrives on their doorstep. She is, to Normans utter disbelief, exactly as he had imagined her: enchanting, eccentric, and endlessly astounding. He hadnt imagined, however, how much havoc an imaginary octogenarian could wreak on his sleepy Buckinghamshire hometown.
