I read this a while ago and really enjoyed it. I've just picked up a copy second hand and am sure it will be on a wishlist or two!

And off this goes to Florence71 as part of the wishlist tag game. Happy reading!

Well arrived in France ! Thanks Bookfrogster ! It certainely not stay longer in my TBR
Edit : very good book with a nice story with joy and share ! I'm following the author for his other novels, sure !

I'm happy to send this wishlist book to you in Switzerland, Over-the-moon ! Hope it will travel again after you rode it !

what a surprise! thank you Florence for thinking of me, looking forward to reading this, and to seeing you again in Lausanne!

A very warm, cosy book with plenty of humour, a varied cast of characters depicted with empathy (maybe with the exception of Portia), and a touch of supernatural. I greatly admire the author's fertile imagination and liked all the little stories woven around the found objects. I was also touched by the author's story which she tells right at the end, and shall investigate the websites mentioned.
Florence - thank you for the red magnetic bookmark which I only discovered when I started reading the book! I lost it several times while reading but found it again in my bed, or on the sofa... Maybe it should stay with the book as it travels as a kind of token in remembrance of Anthony...

I'm reserving this for someone on OPPEM's 2019 birthday RABCK list.

Since reading this book I have been keeping my eye open for lost things. I found a little metal shield from Shoens on the floor of Geneva Airport railway station, which reminded me of Patrick Leigh Fermor's walking stick, the one he lost (it was stolen) as he was walking from London to Istanbul, where he had hammered in shields from the German towns he had walked through. He talks about it in A Time of Gifts. I often wonder where that stick is, and whether it will turn up one day. Then yesterday I lost the little rubber-tipped pen thing I bought last week to use on my phone keyboard instead of my fat fingers. I hope someone has found it and will keep it. I started thinking of all the things I have lost over the years and began to feel quite depressed!

going to UK as part of 2019 OPPEM birthday RABCK.

Thank you so much for this book. Reading the blurb on the back it is my kind of book. Will read soon.
