Going Big or Small?

by David Canford

A Man Called Ove meets Thelma and Louise. British humour collides with European culture as dull and predictable retiree, Frank, gets more adventure than he bargained for when he sets off across 1980s Europe hoping to shake up his mundane life. In East Germany, he finds getting in much easier than getting out. In France, he meets the exotic Delphine who persuades him to cast caution to the wind. They’re having the time of their lives on the Cote d'Azur until things get complicated and they find their lives in danger. Crossing into Italy, Frank learns of Delphine’s past and seeks to help her. But falling in love with Delphine and Italy has unexpected consequences.

Great read

I found this book highly entertaining. I have been reading a few pretty deep books lately and find this one to be a great change of pace. His wit made the book a delightful read. Very easy and realistic read. A must book for light summer reading
