Love in Lowercase

A Novel

De: Francesc Miralles, Julie Wark - translator

Narrado por: Scott Aiello

A feel-good novel for fans of A Man Called Ove and The Rosie Project, about an eccentric, language-loving bachelor and the cat that opens his eyes to life’s little pleasures.

When Samuel, a lonely linguistics lecturer, wakes up on New Year’s Day, he is convinced that the year ahead will bring nothing more than passive verbs and un-italicized moments - until an unexpected visitor slips into his Barcelona apartment and refuses to leave. The appearance of Mishima, a stray, brindle-furred cat, becomes the catalyst that leads Samuel from the comforts of his favorite books, foreign films, and classical music to places he’s never been (next door) and to people he might never have met (a neighbor with whom he’s never exchanged a word). Even better, the Catalan cat leads him back to the mysterious Gabriela, whom he thought he’d lost long before, and shows him, in this international best seller for fans of The Rosie Project, The Solitude of Prime Numbers, and A Man Called Ove, that sometimes love is hiding in the smallest characters.

Reseñas de la Crítica

One of BuzzFeed’s "10 Books That Will Get You in the Mood on Valentine’s Day"

“A delightfully absurd, life-affirming celebration. I literally stood up and cheered as I read the last page.” (Matthew Quick author of The Silver Linings Playbook)

"A charming and linguistically witty story about love, language, Barcelona, and cats (!) that will resonate for all of us who agree that life’s journey is one that we must never take alone. Funny and touching, Love in Lowercase is proof that the Butterfly Effect can work on a decidedly human scale. I’ve been asked to blurb a lot of books over the last dozen years or so, and few have I enjoyed as much as this one." (Mark Dunn, best-elling author of Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters)

Early Scott Aiello,Easy Comedy

Pretty good. Small, quiet, but nice story. An early Scott Aiello reading, before Sherman Holmes and before many of the sci fi. Scott is pretty good. A light comedy.

Elegance of the Hedgehog with a Happier Ending

I had to double check the name of the author of this book since I was reminded of 'The Elegance of the Hedgehog' so strongly. There were enough literary and musical references to make my head spin combined with engaging characters but a softer less cynical tone and ending than 'The E of the H". Maybe a little too neat and easy of a wrap up at the end but I would still recommend this book.

Great book - Like going on an adventure!

I really enjoyed this book! Never expected the strange, bizarre but exciting twists & turns! I highly recommend this audible book. Great story. Great narration!
