Isaac and the Egg

an original story of love, loss and finding hope in the unexpected

De: Bobby Palmer

Narrado por: Johnny Flynn

One of the most hopeful, honest and wildly imaginative novels you will ever listen to.

This is the story of Isaac and the Egg, a grieving young man and his unforgettable new friend, who meet at exactly the right time.

---

Isaac stands alone on a bridge and screams.

Something screams back.

And that, like everything which follows, is unforgettable.


This is an audiobook about a lot of things - grief, hope, friendship, love. It's also about what you'd do if you stumbled into the woods at dawn, found something extraordinary there, and decided to take it home.

It's a tale that might seem familiar. But how it speaks to you will depend on how you've lived until now.

Sometimes, to get out of the woods, you have to go into them. Isaac and the Egg is one of the most hopeful, honest and wildly imaginative novels you will ever listen to.

I just wish this book to get the recognition it so much deserves, it is a devastatingly sweet and sour text, touching, heart breaking and heart healing book. Great to read, wonderful to listen to
