This is a book you would easily look past in a shop, there is nothing that reaches out and grabs you from the cover of this book. My friend lent it to me, it belonged to her sister who had read it on a holiday so in between the squashed mosquito water damaged pages I discovered a brilliant story. I would ask you to please have a read of this book, I loved it. I admit the first chapter was slow and I wondered if I could really be bothered with the dead bugs and water damage but I am so glad and thankful that I persevered because I fell head over in heels in love with this book and its wonderful characters. Set in a small English village it is a story about a retired man trying to rediscover a lone happy moment from his youth, trying to get back to that one and only happy place. It is also a story about a family trying to repair broken bonds and strained relationships. I don't really want to give much more away but I beg you to please give this book a read you will really enjoy it.
8/10
