About this listen

FROM THE PUBLISHER OF DAYS AT THE MORISAKI BOOKSHOP

There's a book written for every one of us...

Carl may be 72 years old, but he's young at heart. Every night he goes door-to-door delivering books by hand to his loyal customers. He knows their every desire and preference, carefully selecting the perfect story for each person.

One evening as he makes his rounds, nine-year-old Schascha appears. Loud and precocious, she insists on accompanying him - and even tries to teach him a thing or two about books.

When Carl's job at the bookstore is threatened, will the old man and the girl in the yellow raincoat be able to restore Carl's way of life, and return the joy of reading to his little European town?

THE DOOR-TO-DOOR BOOKSTORE is a heart-warming tale of the value of friendship, the magic of reading, and the power of books to unite us all.

The narrator was very good

The book starts off very well,the narrator has done a great job.
Somewhere along the way,it becomes unreal and too far away from reality,but the love for books shines through.thank you to author and narrator for a lovely listen.

Immensely Enjoyed the listening to story

The story as it unfolds brings the joy of books, friendship and more. The age and the friendship between various age groups and the young and their presence that makes world more beautiful and the books in it.

The book did show the way

Delightful story, full of emotions, human triumphs and failure, some laughs , some tears. No book in the near past has moved me so much. Put into the right mood by the reader Raphael Corkhill. Really worth a listen or a read
