A bored housewife and crummy husband with zero likeability move to a boring place and develops a crush on clueless talented guy with ASD. Pretty much all you need to know. ( ) This book was a delight, the author’s prose immediately sucking me into the quaint, at times sad narrative of Ellie, a middle-aged Englishwoman stuck in an emotionally abusive marriage, a woman who chances upon a tradesman who builds harps. After being gifted a harp and required by her husband to return it, she’s offered the chance to instead keep it at the harp maker’s house and come to practice it there instead. Dan is neuroatypical, a gifted woodworker, very straightforward, kind and intelligent. He and Ellie develop a friendship in secret as she has to hide her harp playing from her husband. Many cleverly drawn characters in this one. I was completely enraptured by every scene with Phineas the pheasant, charmed by Ed, and kept on my toes by Ro Deer. So adorable. A charming and heartwarming tale. Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Dan Hollis lives a happy, solitary life carving exquisite Celtic harps in his barn in the countryside of the English moors. Here he can be himself, away from social situations that he doesn't always get right or completely understand. On the anniversary of her beloved father's death, Ellie Jacobs takes a walk in the woods and comes across Dan's barn. She is enchanted by his collection. Dan gives her a harp made of cherrywood to match her cherry socks. He stores it for her, ready for whenever she'd like to take lessons. Ellie begins visiting Dan almost daily and quickly learns that he isn't like other people. He makes her sandwiches precisely cut into triangles and repeatedly counts the (seventeen) steps of the wooden staircase to the upstairs practice room. Ellie soon realizes Dan isn't just different; in many ways, his world is better, and he gives her a fresh perspective on her own life. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
