Three Apples Fell from the Sky

I enjoyed this book about a close-knit mountain community. “Heartwarming” is the perfect description. The neighbours all look out for one another and everyone contributes in their own way. It is a glimpse at a simple and idyllic life where it is never too late to find happiness.

I didn’t rate it higher because, while it is an enjoyable book I didn’t find it particularly outstanding. I’m glad I read it but it’s definitely not one I will ever re-read.

Life, death, friendship, marriage, disaster, war, famine and food all feature in the short novel. It's charming and sad and hopeful all at once
