It's not so often that you stumble onto a really good author and this is a first book! The writing is a pleasure to read, the style is nicely polished, the use of language and narrative reflections on life, the descriptions of people and situations, excellent!
What I really appreciated about this story, (yes I've already read it) was the time the author must have spent planning it out. The little clues and the way eveything, all the details came together, is beautifully done. It is a wonderful and whistful tale full of emotion. Like a clever jigsaw puzzle which lends a certain satisfaction as each piece slots together and which in the end, when complete, reveals a picture.
I thoroughly recommend this story.

I agree wholeheartedly. This is one very promising author. The story is a smidgen outside our niche, but I think folk will understand at the end why I have published it

Loved the writing style, learned a few words in the process too (I was thoroughly confused when there was a person inside a "skip", never had thought about what those where called in english).
Looking forward to read where the story will lead.
