About this listen

'Heartbreaking, hopeful . . . nothing short of a joy' Caleb Azumah Nelson, author of Open Water

Rupert's eclectic charity shop, The Chest of Small Wonders, sits on an ever-changing high street in an ever-changing corner of London. He once had big dreams for the place, but times are tough, and without his beloved wife by his side he is close to giving up.

When lonely teenager Kwasi takes refuge in the shop, escaping school bullies and the watchful eyes of his extended family, the Chest becomes a place of possibility again. Man and boy unite to save the shop and an unexpected friendship begins, but as tensions escalate around them both Kwasi and Rupert must decide who their allies are and where their futures lie.

Lyrical, witty, moving and timely, To Fill a Yellow House is a story of community, friendship and the power of creativity and connection. It is as vibrant and surprising as the city it is set in and marks the arrival of a bright and bold new talent.

Every time I thought I knew the route this story was going to go another element was added!! I loved this book and felt I was really on a journey with both the main characters. The author knows how to do exposition without knocking the listener over the head with it!! The performance was amazing, with clear differences between characters. I think this book really knows how to keep an audience engaged!! One twist made me have to pause the book to recover (I’ve genuinely never done that before)

So much depth and an unexpected storyline
