Beskrivning
Now a major BBC drama.Leonard and Hungry Paul is the story of two friends who ordinarily would remain uncelebrated. It finds a value and specialness in them that is not immediately apparent and prompts the idea that maybe we could learn from the people that we overlook in life. Leonard and Hungry Paul change the world differently to the rest of us: we try and change it by effort and force; they change it by discovering the small things they can do well and offering them to others.

Recensioner i media

“A charming, warm-hearted celebration of all that is treasurable about everyday life.” — The Guardian“Charming without being twee, this funny, warm book will bring you sunshine.” — The Irish Times"God, what a voice Ronan has. It is spectacular and already feels like a cult classic. I was absolutely hooked." — Donal Ryan, The Spinning Heart"The book is a delightful summer read because the characters are so incredibly likable... It's testament to the author's skill that this book, so lacking in the traditional trappings of drama, is somehow a total page turner." - Chloe Veltman, NPR Books“Radiant… A charming, luminous debut.” — Kirkus STARRED Review“For a book that defies convention I would heartily recommend Leonard and Hungry Paul. It’s as simple as it is unique … a celebration of kindness and having enough and being content — and living a life devoid of high drama and conflict. It’s very funny, and well-written, poetic in places. But above all it’s kind, a celebration of often overlooked people.” — Kit de Waal, author of My Name Is Leon
