Soft in the Head by Marie-Sabine Roger
3.0
an awkward 45yo lunkhead (who's not really a lunkhead but has just been convinced of this over his lifetime) finds acceptance, friendship, and love with and 86yo woman. they meet and bond over their shared fascination with pigeons and go on to create their own grandmother-grandson relationship of choice.
this was a charming read, rough at moments - when learning about germain and his background - but this is smoothed out by the grace and kindness margueritte brings to his life. ('rough' in context with germain's personality and experiences.) family can often be a fraught landscape. it's nice to read about people who manage to carve their own spaces and find their people.
