Blurb

Carl may be 72 years old, but he's young at heart. Every night he goes door-to-door delivering books by hand to his loyal customers. He knows their every desire and preference, carefully selecting the perfect story for each person.

One evening as he makes his rounds, nine-year-old Schascha appears. Loud and precocious, she insists on accompanying him - and even tries to teach him a thing or two about books.

When Carl's job at the bookstore is threatened, will the old man and the girl in the yellow raincoat be able to restore Carl's way of life, and return the joy of reading to his little European town?

My Opinion

There is a book for every reader

The Door to Door Bookstore by Carsten Henn is a fantastic work of fiction that is going to be definitely etched in your heart. The book is a perfect masterpiece for lovers of Midnight Library. The story starts from a bookstore run by Carl, he thinks that there is a book for everyone. Carl with Schascha, his new friend embark on an adventure of delivering the book orders. The most fascinating thing about the plot is the relation between a book and a reader. Carl's character is amazing who has devoted his whole life around books. He loves to give books to people. The other characters are totally distinct from each other. For every character, there is a different book. It was lovely to read a book that touched my heart. You will witness lots of books and people and who knows may be you will also find a book made for you.

It is not just a book but an emotion that book lovers share with their book. Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars. Thanks to Netgalley and Rachel's Random Resources for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
