À propos de cet audio

An unforgettable and heartwarming debut about how a chance encounter and a list of library books helps forge an unlikely friendship between two very different people—a lonely London widower and a troubled teenager.

Widower Mukesh lives a quiet life in the London Borough of Ealing after losing his beloved wife. He shops every Wednesday, goes to Temple, and worries about his granddaughter, Priya, who hides in her room reading while he spends his evenings watching nature documentaries.

Aleisha is a bright but anxious teenager working at the local library for the summer when she discovers a crumpled-up piece of paper in the back of To Kill a Mockingbird. It's a list of novels that she's never heard of before. Intrigued, and a little bored with her slow job at the checkout desk, she impulsively decides to read every book on the list, one after the other. As each story gives up its magic, the books transport Aleisha from the painful realities she's facing at home.

When Mukesh arrives at the library, desperate to forge a connection with his bookworm granddaughter, Aleisha passes along the reading list…hoping that it will be a lifeline for him too. Slowly, the shared books create a connection between two lonely souls, as fiction helps them escape their grief and everyday troubles and find joy again.

This book was a pleasure to read. The characters developed naturally throughout the book, and the ending did not seem contrived. Plus there are two great reading lists arising in this book - one that the book is framed around, and another that the author shared in the end notes. I found the list in my hardcover version of the book. Unfortunately, I don’t think it was contained in the audiobook. This should be rectified.

A great story made even better by the actors who read the characters, especially Mukesh Patel

This book was lovely to hear. You love the characters and by the end want to read every book on the list!

A lovely weave of lives

I enjoyed the book but found it slow at times. The narration was well done. The ending brings it all together.

Great book and narrators. A bit slow at times.

I thought the way this story built was very clever, with everyone who finds the booklist considers it a meaningful discovery. As they start requesting the books from the library and reading, we learn about them as individuals. I wasn’t paying full attention until the lives began to intersect, and I almost wished I’d stopped and listened more carefully from the beginning.

A clever plot line

I felt so many emotions listening to this book, I can't believe it's already ended. The narrators were excellent! There are other books referenced in this book that I haven't read yet, which have now been added to my list!

Lovely!

I really enjoyed this book. Aleisha begins to work at the library and at first she's not happy about it, but when she meets a lonely widower named Mukesh, things begin to change. She finds a Reading List in a book and begins to recommend those books to Mukesh and also begins to read them herself.

Books have the power to change us and the way we see the world and they begin to change both Aleisha and Mukesh and also to create a powerful friendship between the two.

I thought the narrator did a good job with the story and the accents.

I was so glad I purchased this story - even though some Goodreads reviewers said this story was too saccharine for them. While it does have a hallmark feel to it, the author kept me wanting to hear more. I enjoyed watching the 2 main characters come to immerse themselves into reading and connect with others through reading. To find a love in listening to the character's (of each novel) story to tell. How they identified themself with some of the characters. It showed how much they were enjoy reading. And that is why I read: to immerse myself into another world.. to see life from someone else's eyes.
I've read most of the books on the list and plan to read the ones I haven't. Or re-read some of my favourites there were listed here.
I laughed and cried and totally loved this book. And I thought the narrators did an excellent job of bring each character to life. I do recommend this book to book lovers worldwide.

Loved this story!
