Heart warming story of why it is important to be a good listener. Father Mckenzie touches the lives of many lonely people just by being there and listening to them.
I have read most of the Dales series and the Little Village School series based on the life of a school inspector and liked them all.

This is a sweet little book, poignant and moving. Inspired by the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby we are given a further glimpse into the realms of loneliness and how it exists on our doorsteps. Father McKenzie the main protagonist shows us how profoundly lives can be touched by a simple listening ear.

Clever re-imagining of the classic Beatles song Elenor Rigby. This fleshes out the people and makes them real. Real emotional rollercoaster with both funny and emotional parts.

This was a nice, short read but nothing more. As it was short, I felt I didn’t get to connect to the characters but I’m not sure more time with them would have done that. If it were a longer story I think I would have just DNF’ed it. However, I really enjoyed the story of one of the confessionals but was disappointed it didn’t go in the way I thought it would

A truly delightful short read. Its quirky and fun with believable characters and some brilliant writing. Even better it really makes you consider the people you pass on the street and the lives they may have.
