"This is a short book, a gentle book and a great book.
In a very short time and space, James Hilton introduces us to a man, an unexceptional man, and makes us care for him so much that if you're not in tears at least a couple of times before the end then you need to consult a cardiologist to make sure that your heart hasn't been removed.
This is great writing in the service of a touching tale that, no matter how small, is no small matter."
