Die Leser*innen einer kleinen Bücherei bekommen von der Bibliothekarin auf ungewöhnliche Weise Unterstützung, um aus einer festgefahrenen Situation rauszukommen. Schöne Idee, mit sehr schlichter Umsetzung.
Wartezimmerlektüre, die wenig Aufmerksamkeit verlangt und keine bösen Überraschungen bereit hält.
Unsusal book and not what I had expected, yet in the end, it was nice to see how all five stories (chapters) in the book connected with each other.
Recommendable.
