Book description:

Gorgeous, heartwarming stories about quirky, mature characters that will make even the most discerning readers smile. The public book box, reborn from a decadent telephone booth, unexpectedly and skilfully weaves the lives of its random readers and gently brings their personal secrets to light. The life of a woman imprisoned in her own world, full of constraints, seems at first to circle irreversibly under a predetermined spell until she meets her counterpart at the bookcase. In a desperate search for a certain book, a widowed grandfather spontaneously makes contact with his highly coveted neighbor. In the process, he comes across a big secret. The unmistakable, admirable humanity of the main characters triumphs over their whimsical quirks. The author shows effectively and enchantingly: Better to browse and fall in love instead of satirizing and caricaturing!
