Waiting for Bojangles by Olivier Bourdeaut

4.0

Waiting for Bojangles is a marvellous story of a family navigating mental illness and a testament to love's true powers over us. It's brimming with charm, humour and melancholy, making this book a beautiful whirlwind of emotion. I believe Nina Simone's "Mr Bojangles" is a perfect song to centre this book around, as it radiates the same fusion of emotions. This book is memorable, and I recommend it to anyone in the mood to read a book pulling at your heartstrings.
