A strange but lovely story about the power of stories, real and imaginary. At first I found the main character and his life so odd that I couldn’t get ‘into’ the book, but once I accepted that both plot and characters were unusual I enjoyed it more. The writing was great throughout.

A jewel of a book. Sure, it’s short, and it feels almost as if it’s left unfinished but that’s part of its charm.

The story of a man whose life is dull, but words light it up, bringing him some joy.

I loved it.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will. Enjoy

A charming little story, could have been a bit longer and had more about the romance ... but overall a likeable book, and well translated (not always the case!). I would read more from this author.

Thanks to the publisher for a review copy.

Unfortunately I didn't finish reading this one, but I did skim read as it was one of our books of the month.
Thankyou for approving my request to read it as, even though I did not finish the book, I have definitely been able to take something from it for referral purposes to customers.
