Great character development.

A story filled with believable characters and a realistic ending. You couldn’t help but cheer for the characters because we all have had those same life experiences

quiet and lovely

if you loved Brit Marie and Ove... you will love Cal and Chacha. literary characters, loners and found family.

It’s a short story with great characters

Amazingly beautiful

One of my favorites of all time. Very well done translation and excellent performance. This story is for everyone who has ever enjoyed a book.

Terrific Read!!

This is a charming story told in the most charming way. I’m so sad that this book is the only one that’s been translated by this author for Audible.

This book will make you smile days after you finish it. It’s that good.

What a beautiful story!

My favorite book of the year. In fact, I put off finishing it for weeks because I didn’t want it to end. Bravo Herr Henn!

Clean story with literary style

My kind of reading. Entertaining, heartwarming, relational. I lived each character with their flaws and strengths.

Delightful

A feel good book about a charming young girl who befriends a dear elderly man and finds a way to enrich many people’s lives.
