Such a sweet, gentle, and thoughtful book about people finding joy and connection. I loved this little quasi-family.

It’s really brain injury rather than mental illness, but there wasn’t a tag for that.

This was a beautiful book. Very sad, but beautiful. I’m moved by the compassion and love shown by all the characters for each other, and the way math was interwoven into the story helped us get a better understanding of The Professor and how the other characters related to him. The author shows a deep understanding of math and explains it with a beauty and music even a layperson like myself can appreciate.

This was such an interesting, quiet sort of book. I loved the way the relationships between the characters were developed and I became so absorbed in their lives. As much as I've never really enjoyed maths I found the Professor's explanations fascinating, particularly because they're presented in a very accessible way. It's a lovely, touching read and I don't think I've read anything else like it.
