The Book Club book

Janice is a cleaner of other people's houses.  People seem to enjoy telling her their stories, and soon Janice is collecting them ….  However, when Janice starts cleaning for Mrs B – an intelligent older woman - she finally meets someone who understands that Janice has her own story to tell.  Can Janice be persuaded to be more than the "keeper" of stories?
