Summary

Ronnie has resigned himself to a life of loneliness.

His life in the crumbling seaside town of Bingham-on-Sea never seemed that bad, but since the loss of his father, the highlights of Ronnie's solitary days include manning the lost property office at the bus station where he works, and plaguing his local GP with increasingly outlandish ailments. Forgotten or underestimated by all those around him, Ronnie is lost, and he's not expecting to be found.

But when a chance encounter leads Ronnie to reluctantly foster Hamlet, an unwanted stray dog, his empty days begin to fill with all manner of new responsibilities and experiences.

Can these two lost souls help each other to find a new lease of life?

Lovely!

This book was just wonderful.

The story is heartwarming and filled with humour and lovely characters. There is an element of sadness and loneliness for Ronnie but it is such a joy to see how his circle grows and he finds purpose in life.

Hamlet was entertaining to read about and I enjoyed hearing about his expressions whenever Ronnie was talking to him.

A lovely little story!

The narration was great and the voice suited the characters and story very well.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
