I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little palate cleanser after a heavy or serious book. This is a sweet story of an older gentleman and a little girl, and the ways that books and friends help them navigate life's difficulties. There's lots of humor and a satisfying ending, as you would expect, The dark section did have me a little distressed, but I was propelled to see the resolution. Also, it was fun to read a book that was originally published in German, and clearly takes place in Europe today. This a nice summer read or break from more difficult novels.
I listened to most of this, and the narrator was excellent.
