It is a rare treat to discover a book like The Door-to-Door Bookstore. I essentially started and finished this book in one sitting on a family road trip.
Mr. Kolhoff is a bookshop employee who treasures his daily walks in the village where he delivers book orders to the village’s inhabitants, whom for various reasons, stay within the confines of their homes. One day, this “Book Walker” is accompanied by a precocious young girl named Schasha and turns his entire outlook on his customers upside down.
I absolutely adored the sweet and extremely relatable relationship between Mr. Kolhoff and Schasha. The addition of the quirky cast of characters the two of them interact with on their daily deliveries was delightful and kept me smiling as the pages turned. The plotline was short and concise - for me a perfect length that did not drag any one character’s story on for too long.
Recommended for lovers of cozy, book loving characters and Fredrik Bachman’s A Man Called Ove.
Thank you to NetGalley, Carsten Henn, and Hanover Square Press for an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
