Good morning everyone today on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring two books by Bobby Palmer.
I read Isaac And The Egg a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. It’s a book that has stayed with me and one I often recommend to customers at Rossiter Books where I work. I’ve actually just chosen it as our April book club book and I’m really excited to share it with others.
I was lucky enough to be offered an early copy of Small Hours and I’m very excited to read it soon, though a bit nervous as I loved Isaac so much.
What books have you read recently that you can’t stop thinking about?
Small Hours is published 14th March 2024
Small Hours
If you stood before sunrise in this wild old place, looking through the trees into the garden, here’s what you’d see:
A father and son, a fox standing between them.
Jack, home for the first time in years, still determined to be the opposite of his father.
Gerry, who would rather talk to animals than the angry man back under his roof.
Everything that follows is because of the fox, and because Jack’s mother is missing. It spans generations of big dreams and lost time, unexpected connections and things falling apart, great wide worlds and the moments that define us.
If you met them in the small hours, you’d begin to piece together their story.
Isaac And The Egg
Heartbreaking and heart-stealing, this modern-day fable is an unforgettable novel about sorrow, joy, friendship and love.
It is early. A young man stands on a bridge and lets out a heart-wrenching scream. From deep in the woods, something screams back.
It sounds improbable. But this is how Isaac meets the egg.
The two are unlikely companions. But their chance encounter will transform Isaac’s life in ways he cannot yet imagine.
Maybe he will finally understand why he went there that morning. Maybe he will find a way to tell the truth.
Sometimes, to get out of the woods, you have to go into them.
