Curl up and enjoy this bewitching novel
A lovely, quirky novel about misfits across generations
Razor sharp while packing a heart-wrenchingly powerful emotional punch... Beautifully written, cleverly constructed, at times hilariously funny and ultimately deeply affecting - this should be a smash
Delightful. It's a hugely engaging look at how lives can be remade in the most unexpected of ways
A whimsical and bittersweet story about finding friendship in the most unlikely places
Heartwarming... beautifully sketched characters... life-affirming *****
This inspirational tale of friendship, world records and following dreams is a stunner
Wise, witty and incredibly moving... magical and life-affirming. I was utterly charmed
A big, warm, winning treat of a novel, wholly believable but touched with magic... Sharply observed, deftly constructed and pithily told
A beautifully told story
Wood's prose sparkles with lyrical descriptions and sharp observations about people and their motivations... But the over-arching theme running through it all concerns second chances. Even when you're older than a century, life still has the capacity to surprise you
The boy is one of my favourite literary characters ever! I thought it was a gem of a novel, heartbreaking and heartwarming. Beautifully written, with characters that you want to keep by your side
A magical, beautifully written story about the healing power of friendship, music, and unexpected, generation-spanning connections. As emotionally resonant as THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME
A beguiling, heart-wrenching and funny book... Absolutely gorgeous
It's a pleasure to linger with her elegant prose, keen eye, and grace of thought
