Not as good as Odd Thomas, but I enjoyed it.
This is yet another lovely book by Rosy Thornton, a simple little tale, beautifully told, of two struggling single parents who strike up an unexpected long-distance friendship. She writes really gently and beautifully, giving you an overall sense of comfort and domesticity while handling some quite difficult issues like those faced by the traveller community, and loneliness and companionship in its many guises (Peter has a lovely gay pair of male friends that I'd rather like for my friends too...). Beautiful writing, lovely reading.
