LoveReading Says

Reviewed on Richard & Judy on Wednesday 21 February 2007.
Pearl, a teenage beauty seeking love, makes a terrible mistake.  Leonard, her five-year old son must live with it and lonely Mitch, her 25-year old neighbour, infatuated by an older woman, takes the boy on.  Each tells their tale.  This is a story of love, centring on a very special brand of ‘forever love’ which is beautifully explained in the voice of a sensitive, highly astute, innocent boy.  It is a gem of a novel, sweet without being saccharine, tender without being sentimental and sad without being a “weepy”.  It’s a deep tale of human nature, simply told and powerful for being so.

Comparison: Mark Haddon, Mitch Albom, Ben Sherwood.
