A thought provoking novel, memorable characters and an excellent heart warming story at its core.
This is a book I have had on my TBR shelf for quite some time and it wasn't getting my attention until a goodreads friend recommended the audio version of the book that I decided to give it a try. A beautiful story with characters you can connect with.
This is a gentle, relaxing read and a book I enjoyed listening to out on my walks.
Arthur Opp a former academic, weighs 550 lbs. He lives in his Brooklyn Brownstone home and hasn't managed to leave it for many years. Twenty miles away Kel Keller lives in Yonkers with his mom Charlene, he is a teenager on the cusp of life but has family issues tend to stand in his way.
This is a character driven novel and I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and especially Arthur Opp and why his life turned out the way it did. Its a moving story, but not a depressing read.
I listened to the audio book and the narrators were excellent. A very relaxing and memorable read.
I liked the ending of the novel, it gives you food for thought and perhaps I will meet these characters again someday in another novel by Liz Moore.
