Book clubs in Dorking

I took this on my first solo holiday in years. Loved everything about it. So characterful and I like how the story unfolded. Who would have thought a book about penguins and annold, crabby lady, could be so entertaining!

It is such a feel good book, with hope and how somehow we can impact a life without really knowing how amazing this can be for the person. It is also about what family really means and what happiness means in practice and on a visceral level. It is also written so beautifully, down to earth... not at all sickly sweet and you just end up liking all those that are meant to be liked and actually you pity those that a pain in the backside as sometimes we have all experienced trying to do good but it going wrong. No to mention the moments when you are laughing... because even in the most tense of life moments...even when you can't see it at the time... life is side splittingly funny x

I came late to this book and cannot understand why I wasted time. Just eye opening and life changing.
