A proposito di questo titolo

Otto Laird is outraged . . .The peaceful, if slightly bemused, existence of this elderly, retired architect is rudely interrupted when he learns that his most significant and revolutionary building, Marlowe House, a 1960s tower block council estate in south London is to be demolished.

Determined to do everything in his power to save the building, Otto returns to London for the first time in 25 years. As he explores his past, ponders his present and considers the future - for himself and his building - Otto embarks on a most remarkable journey, one that will change everything he ever thought he knew about himself and those closest to him.

Funny, moving and heart-warming, this is a novel featuring one of the most endearing protagonists you will ever meet, whose story will stay with you long after you hear the final page.

Recensioni della critica

"I raced through this book in one day. The eccentric and engaging character of the ageing Otto had me gripped from the start. Well-written and moving, this is a novel to savour." (Hilary Boyd, author of Thursdays in the Park)
"Emotional, poignant and touching. It's a book we can all relate to, about love, regret and moving on. An amazing read." (Deborah Rodriguez, author of The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul)
"Heartwarming" ( Good Reading)
"A funny, warm melange of architecture, human frailties and 20th century European history, tinged with melancholy and magical realism" ( Sydney Morning Herald)
